We share your passion about protecting the world around us, from tackling deforestation to reducing carbon emissions and our use of water.

SUSTAINABLE CONTACT LENS PACKAGING

That is why all ACUVUE® contact lenses guarantee all paper packaging comes from 100% responsibly managed forests1.

In 2023, we removed the plastic pouches on delivery notices for all our ACUVUE® orders, saving 2.7 tons of plastic each year in the UK2.

REDUCING CO² EMISSIONS

We’re also committed to reducing carbon emissions and protecting water resources by:

  • Saving 42,000 tonnes of CO2 per year through renewable and energy efficiency initiatives, equivalent to removing 10,000 cars from the road*3.
  • 100% renewable electricity from wind power at our production site in Limerick, Ireland4.
  • 88.9% of unused materials at our Vision Care manufacturing sites are recycled5.
  • Actively encouraging all ACUVUE® contact lens wearers to not dispose of their lenses down the toilet or sink.

 

And it doesn’t stop there. 100% of the electricity for Johnson & Johnson Vision’s manufacturing sites across North American and Europe comes from renewable sources – three years ahead of target. As a result, all ACUVUE® brand contact lenses are now made with 100% renewable electricity6.

We’re also on track to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.
