Optometrists have a convenient recycling solution thanks to TerraCycle’s Zero Waste Box, designed to eliminate the idea of waste by providing recycling solutions for hard-to-recycle waste.
Optometry Australia has commissioned a Sustainability Roadmap to target waste, carbon and eco-awareness challenges within the optometry sector, and chart a new course towards a more sustainable future for eye care.
Opticycle is making recycling easy for optometrists in Australia, offering a holistic end to end recycling solution for optical products, ranging from contact lens packaging to frames and lenses.
After years of experience in both corporate and franchise settings, Brendan Schelbach became acutely aware of the need for environmental consciousness within the optical industry. This awareness inspired him to found Honour Optometry – a practice deeply rooted in sustainable principles.
In 2022, we sat down with Ellen Zhang and her partner Kyle Armstrong to discuss their eco-friendly practice, Ellen Zhang Optometry. Fast forward two years, and we reconnected with Ellen to see how her practice has grown, and to explore her ongoing commitment to integrating sustainable practices into her daily practice.
In the spirit of reconciliation Optometry Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
