Opticycle collects Disposable Contact Lens Cases. Each box or bag received at our processing facility is checked in and weighed allowing us to track and report on performance across our network of participating organisations. Once weights have been recorded, the contents of full boxes/bags are emptied onto a sorting table for a visual quality control check. Any contamination, or non-accepted packaging is removed and managed accordingly (recycled where possible).
The cases are broken down into fine particles to delaminate the materials. This then goes through our proprietary separation process, which involves air density & electrostatic separation, to separate the plastic & aluminium. Once separated the aluminium and plastic material is kept in bulk bags until enough material is ready to be sent to end-users.
Opticycle consists of a team of dedicated industry professionals with extensive experience in waste and recycling, logistics, training and education, stakeholder engagement and sustainability reporting.
We work with you to educate staff, using educational material tailored to your specific needs. We also focus on continued learning and education so that staff remain aware of and keep up to date with program changes.
Absolute transparency is what we are all about. We only offer services where viable end markets exist for recovered materials, and our detailed service reporting provides real time access to data and information that can be used to support ESG and CSR reporting.
