CooperVision and Plastic Bank transformed the clariti 1 day lens family into the first net plasticneutral contact lenses in the United States, offering a simple way for people to care for the eyes and the health of the planet at the same time. The silicone hydrogel one-day lenses are said to be made with the healthiest soft contact lens material available for daily use and they help to make a positive impact.
For every box of clariti 1 day that is distributed in the United States since January 2021, CooperVision purchases credits from Plastic Bank for the collection, processing and reuse of general plastic waste equivalent to the weight of the plastic contained in clariti 1 day lenses. This includes everything from the lenses and blister packs to the adhesives, packaging laminates and even the plastics in the ink printed on the boxes.
