Johnson & Johnson Vision ACUVUE global headquarters to be run on 100% solar power

Johnson & Johnson Vision has announced that its ACUVUE global headquarters in Jacksonville, USA, will run on 100% solar power after agreeing a deal with JEA of Northwest Florida. The deal, which goes into effect in 2022, will help Johnson & Johnson Vision meet its renewable electricity target and means that all ACUVUE brand contact lenses will be made using 100% renewable electricity, said a Johnson & Johnson spokesperson. As part of the new ACUVUE® sustainability resources, the brand is also encouraging contact lens wearers not to flush their lenses down the toilet or sink to prevent them finding their way into streams, rivers and oceans. www.acuvue.com/sustainability
