Support Lens Recycling – Circular Economy Initiative by IG Nachhaltigkeit

The PMMA support lens recycling initiative, a circular economy project by IG Nachhaltigkeit, has advanced to the next phase with additional industry supporters and a major pilot collection effort.

Over several weeks, the project will test how sorting works at opticians' locations and explore how seemingly worthless clear plastic discs can be transformed into added value for frame manufacturers. Matthias Köste (pricon) and Frank Tente (Koberg) – both IG members and dedicated supporters of the support lens project – will provide insights into the initiative. Perhaps additional interested parties will join the project on-site and actively contribute to its success.
