CONTACT LENS RECYCLING AT IN CHARLOTTESVILLE & HARRISONBURG, VA
At C-Luminous Eyecare, we believe that protecting vision should also mean protecting the environment. As part of our commitment to responsible healthcare and sustainability, we proudly recycle contact lens, blister packs, foil lids, and contact lens packaging to help reduce plastic waste and protect our planet. Millions of contact lenses and their packaging are used every day. When disposed of improperly, these materials can contribute to microplastic pollution in waterways and oceans. By offering a convenient recycling option for our patients and community, we help ensure these materials are processed responsibly instead of ending up in landfills or wastewater systems. |

Contact lenses and their packaging contain plastic materials that may break down into microplastics, which can harm aquatic ecosystems and eventually enter the food supply.
