An opticians in Warwick is offering customers the chance to recycle their glasses and contact lenses in store for free.
Specsavers Warwick, which opened at Market Place in November, has teamed with recycling experts MYgroup to install collection bins in store.
Customers can drop off both metal and plastic frames, along with contact lenses in store which will be shipped to the team at MYgroup to be repurposed once the bins are full.
The items will be given a second lease of life and repurposed into a wide range of items such as furniture, home and garden accessories, including benches and play park equipment.
This is just one of many steps taken by Specsavers to try and protect the planet and achieve its goal of becoming climate positive – removing more CO2 from the environment than the company generates - by 2035.
Lena Aggarwal, store director at Specsavers Warwick, said: "We are so excited to be collaborating with such an important initiative.
"We always strive to do what we can for the environment so to be able to give something back is so important to us.
"Sustainability is one of our core values so we are really pleased to be offering the chance for our customers to recycle their glasses and contact lenses."
