CooperVision has earned Zero Waste Facility Program Certification for 6 of its global contact lens manufacturing and distribution sites, including those in Scottsville and West Henrietta, NY, and Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico.The certification, which demonstrates the degree to which operations prevent or divert waste from landfills, was also attained by the company’s facilities in Alajuela, Costa Rica, and Delta Park and Mountpark in the UK.
Each site was evaluated and certified individually by SCS Global Services, an international leader in third-party environmental and sustainability certifications, under its latest Zero Waste standard. The Zero Waste Facility Certification reflects the latest milestone in CooperVision’s environmental initiatives focused on conserving energy; reducing, reusing, and recycling resources; and empowering people within the company and the communities in which it operates.
