LAVAL, Quebec—
Bausch + Lomb announced that its One by One Recycling Program—the first contact lens recycling program of its kind—has recycled nearly 2.5 million used contact lenses, blister packs and top foils since the program launched in November 2016, diverting more than 14,000 pounds of waste from landfills. The program is made possible through a collaboration with
TerraCycle, a leader in the collection and repurposing of hard-to-recycle post-consumer waste. Available to eyecare professionals and their patients across the U.S., the Bausch + Lomb One by One Recycling Program works by providing participating practices with large recycling bins to collect used contact lenses, blister packs and top foil.
