Rayner has announced that changes to their manufacturing and packaging procedures will reduce CO2 greenhouse gas emissions by more than 800 tonnes over the next five years.
The reduced emissions are the result of three dedicated projects:
Revising manufacture of the RayOne Hydrophobic IOL so that 26,200 litres of Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) will now be internally recycled annually. IPA will be diverted to hand-gel manufacturers to help combat COVID-19.
Completely removing single-use plastic from its IOL manufacturing process.
Updating packaging across the entire RayOne IOL portfolio.
