Ever wonder what happens to the lenses that we take out of the frames once you have selected them for your new prescription glasses? Well, we collect these up and send them off to a company for further recycling. They soon mount up and it makes us happy knowing that these aren’t going into landfill. Recycline are an amazing company that offer spectacle recycling for the optical industry.
Recycline “We are proud to say that since we took over and became the only recyclers of waste frames in the UK we have successfully diverted more than 500 tonnes of this waste away from landfill sites and back into the circular economy.
That would have been a staggering amount of waste, equal to around 20 million individual pairs of glasses, or the equivalent of approximately 600 medium sized vans loaded to the roof, and all just dropped into UK soil. We’re happy to say that has been avoided.”
