ABDO College unveils child sculpture

A sculpture of a child created from discarded demo lenses and optical lens waste products has been unveiled at the Association of Dispensing Opticians’ (ABDO) College.

Designer Yair Neuman created the sculpture from discarded demo lenses and the swarf resulting from the production of optical lenses in Millmead Optical Group's Liverpool factory.

Millmead Optical Group chief executive officer, James Conway, said: ‘I am excited and proud to unveil this statue which highlights the need to find more sustainable uses for our waste products.

‘Solutions find themselves when we confront problems and my hope is that this beautiful artwork will get people talking about the issues of sustainability in the industry.'
