A better total package

Contact lens manufacturers are making strides to produce more eco-friendly contact lens packaging and reduce wastage. Aware of the increased demand for greener alternatives, suppliers are starting to include sustainability considerations earlier in the R&D and product development processes.

Menicon has been rethinking product development for over a decade and taking steps to become more sustainable, considering what goes into products and the ways they are made.

A great example of this is the introduction of Miru 1day Flat Pack in 2011. Designed with consumers and sustainability in mind, this innovative contact lens product and its packaging reduce the amount of plastic used when compared to conventional daily disposables lenses.
