Visufarma achieves carbon net zero and plastic neutral status

Ophthalmic pharmaceutical company Visufarma has partnered with social fintech Plastic Bank to prevent 17,215 kilograms of plastic from entering the ocean by using plastic waste as currency.

As part of a social recycling movement that also alleviates poverty, ocean stewards empower local entrepreneurs to establish collection branches, exchanging plastic for benefits and income.

Visufarma has also offset all CO₂e emissions through Carbon Neutral Britain’s Woodland Fund Portfolio of verified carbon offsetting projects around the world.

‘Visufarma understands that building a strong UK healthcare business can only be achieved by looking after the local and global environment for which we all have a collective responsibility.
