¥ Plastic neutrality is established by purchasing credits from Plastic Bank. A credit represents the collection and conversion of one kilogram of plastic that may reach or be destined for waterways. CooperVision purchases credits equal to the weight of plastic in our contact lens orders in a specified time period. Contact lens plastic is determined by the weight of plastic in the blister, the lens and the secondary (outer carton) package, including laminates, adhesives, and auxiliary inputs (e.g. ink).
