Helping to make a meaningful and measurable difference
for People + Planet.1
Our partnership with Plastic Bank allows us to offset a portion of our plastic footprint by tackling ocean-bound plastic waste in coastal communities like Bali, where plastic pollution and poverty rates are high.2
The impact of our partnership helps to make a meaningful and measurable difference in the lives of Plastic Bank collector members, their families and the surrounding environment in which they live.
Join us as we share stories that bring to life our real impact in Bali, offering insight into the lives of collector members as well as the fascinating journey of reclaimed plastic.

** Net 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 participating brand orders in a specified time period. Plastic in participating brand plastic is determined by the weight of plastic in the blister, the lens, and the secondary package, including laminates, adhesives, and auxiliary inputs (e.g. ink). Life-improving benefits refer to support provided to eligible Plastic Bank collectors and their family members through CooperVision's funding of Plastic Bank programs, which may include access to vision care, grocery vouchers, and other essentials.
