Biotrue Eye Care Recycling

We’ve teamed up with TerraCycle® to sponsor a new program that responsibly processes the small components of plastic waste created by our contact lens care and eye care routines.

 

Did you know that smaller plastics like the caps of your eye drop bottles, contact lens cases and contact lens solution bottle caps are often not recyclable?

We set out to help with that.

 

What should you recycle?
What should you send to TerraCycle®?

Eye Drop Bottles

You can put the Biotrue box in your curbside recycling! Easy peasy.

Biotrue HYDRATION BOOST bottles & CAPS

This is too small to be recycled (and can even cause problems for other items) so, TerraCycle accepts them!

Samples & eye drop Single dose vials

EYE DROP SINGLE DOSE VIALS (ANY BRAND)

These plastic vials and their caps are far too small to be sorted by automated recycling facilities. So they usually end up in landfills even if you try to recycle them. But with TerraCycle, we make sure that doesn’t happen!

Contact Solution & Cases

This bottle and the Biotrue boxis big enough for standard recycling facilities to sort. So go ahead and throw it into your recycling at home!

TerraCycle Tips

Stock up
before you ship out.

Find a place to stash these TerraCycle items. Then, when you fill that container or space, pack the items up and ship ‘em to us. That way, you make fewer trips to the post office and make the most out of the shipping process.

Collect from
family & friends.

Again, make your TerraCycle shipment really count! Don’t just round up all of the used contact cases and solution/drop caps in your house. Ask your neighbors, family, friends to give you theirs too. Make it a routine!

Set up collection in your building or dorm.

Same strategy as above, but with more people! Just work with any management to make sure it’s okay to put out a collection box. Then, when it gets full, you can empty it and send us the materials. Then, keep the TerraCycle cycle going.
