Key Takeaways • CooperVision launched its Made Better Promise, a global sustainability platform • The initiative reflects the company’s commitment to responsible materials sourcing and more efficient manufacturing • It also incorporates CooperVision’s net plastic neutrality program with Plastic Bank CooperVision announced the introduction of its Made Better Promise, a global sustainability platform focused on more sustainable choices. As part of this initiative, the company is introducing mindful packaging material choices and manufacturing improvements that lower the carbon impact of its MyDay daily disposable family of contact lenses. The company says it also continues to offset a portion of MyDay plastic waste through its net plastic neutrality program. According to CooperVision, key elements of its Made Better Promise include the following: • The use of ISCC PLUS-certified materials in the packaging of participating products. The plastic within MyDay blisters is reportedly 100% ISCC PLUS-certified bio-attributed material sourced and allocated via the ISCC mass balance approach. • Manufacturing processes intentionally designed to reduce carbon footprint through next-generation technologies and improved resource efficiency. • The use of lower-carbon energy where possible across production operations. • Manufacturing sites that reportedly recycle more than 90% of waste. “CooperVision’s sustainability progress begins with innovation—in materials, manufacturing, and the way we think about the full life cycle of our products,” said Aldo Zucaro, senior director of corporate responsibility, CooperCompanies. “The Made Better Promise reflects how we are turning those innovations into real-world impact through thoughtful choices that benefit both people [and the] planet. We’re off to a strong start, delivering practitioners and their patients the same MyDay—just made with less carbon.” According to the company, the Made Better Promise also encompasses its net plastic neutrality program with Plastic Bank, which supports the removal of plastic waste from coastal communities while creating positive socioeconomic impact. To date, the program has reportedly enabled the collection and recycling of more than 659 million plastic bottles from coastal areas where plastic pollution is prevalent. CooperVision’s Made Better Innovation is an ongoing global commitment, with continued advances in materials, technologies, and processes intended to further reduce environmental impact over time.
