CooperVision Expands Net Plastic Neutral Contact Lens Initiative Into Hong Kong

ROCHESTER, N.Y.—CooperVision announced this week that it has expanded its net plastic neutral contact lens initiative to include Hong Kong. With the addition of this latest market, the initiative now reaches 34 countries and territories worldwide, enabling eyecare professionals and contact lens wearers to make a positive impact. Since partnering with Plastic Bank, the global bottle deposit program, in 2021, CooperVision has funded the collection and recycling of ocean-bound plastic equivalent to the weight of the plastic used in participating products sold and distributed across participating countries, preventing the equivalent of more than 513 million plastic bottles from entering the oceans.
