Menicon sustainability activities
Menicon considers environmental protection to be an important part of its social responsibility. For example, programs to save electricity and water have been implemented at all Menicon production sites and innovations to control energy consumption have been introduced. The company is also continuously working on product concepts that help to reduce the impact on the environment.
One example is the development of the Miru 1day Flat Pack daily disposable lens. The plastics used in the manufacturing process are 99 % recycled. For the outer packaging, 100 % recycled plastics are used. In addition, the blister pack, which is only 1mm thin, leads to an 80 percent reduction in plastic waste. More information.

Improvements have also been made to the care products. Thanks to a new manufacturing process, the amount of plastic materials used has been reduced by up to 30 %. In addition, a flexible bottle with a smoother appearance and fewer indentations on the neck of the bottle has been developed. The result: less force is required to open the bottle and squeeze out the solution. This applies to the products MeniCare Pure, MeniCare Plus and MeniLAB.
Menicon is committed to continually reviewing its production processes and materials for environmental friendliness in order to achieve sustainable development goals while providing its customers with safe contact lenses and care products.
