How CooperVision’s Net Plastic Neutral Commitment is Helping Combat Ocean Pollution

At Mission Creek Optometry, we believe that small changes can make a big impact—especially when it comes to sustainability. That’s why we’re proud to offer CooperVision’s MyDay and Clariti daily contact lenses, which are not only designed to improve your vision but also help improve the planet. Through their innovative partnership with Plastic Bank, CooperVision is now net plastic neutral, meaning they are committed to removing more plastic from the environment than they use in their products.

CooperVision and Plastic Bank: A Powerful Partnership for Sustainability

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, with millions of tons of plastic waste finding its way into our oceans each year. But CooperVision is leading the charge to make a difference. As part of their sustainability efforts, CooperVision has partnered with Plastic Bank, a social enterprise dedicated to stopping ocean plastic pollution while improving the lives of people in impoverished communities.

Through this partnership, for every box of MyDay or Clariti daily contact lenses sold, CooperVision helps Plastic Bank remove and recycle an equivalent amount of ocean-bound plastic. By doing so, CooperVision is actively working to reduce the plastic waste that pollutes our oceans, turning it into a valuable resource for communities in need. This effort is an essential part of CooperVision’s mission to become net plastic neutral—meaning that the company ensures any plastic they use in their products is balanced out by plastic collected and recycled through these initiatives.
