What's a great way to take action on plastic waste and improve customer/patient relations?
Establish your business as an Optical Recycling Centre.
Just get set up with optical recycling boxes from ReFactory, Recycline or Terracycle, such that your practice or business is providing recycling for all types of eyewear and contact lens waste, and send a photo of your box(es) via email to andrew@netzeroeyecare.org.
This is a free certification because it's so simple, everyone should be doing it! We'll send you digital marketing assets and a biodegradable window sticker to promote your status to patients and customers!
Net Zero Plastic
Applicable for: Optical Practices and Industry Suppliers.
Like Net Zero Carbon, businesses that have achieved Net Zero Plastic certification have been through a process of rigorous accounting to quantify their plastic waste, and are then offsetting that currently unavoidable waste through Net Zero Eyecare's plastic offsetting programme.
Unlike with carbon emissions, there is no established international standard for Plastic Accounting, so Net Zero Eyecare are proud to present a framework, via our GUIDANCE on PLASTIC FOOTPRINTING, to help any buisness easily quantify their Scope 1, 2, and 3 plastic waste.
