Specsavers, the UK’s leading optician and hearing care provider, is taking steps to reduce its environmental impact by installing recycling boxes across its stores. The initiative aims to make it easier for customers and staff to recycle their waste and promote sustainability. 

The recycling boxes are being installed in over 600 Specsavers stores across the UK and Ireland. They will accept a range of materials, including paper, cardboard, plastics, and glass. The boxes are clearly marked and located in prominent positions within the stores. This means that Specsavers sustainability goes beyond sustainable eyewear and makes a bigger impact.  

The initiative is part of Specsavers’ broader sustainability strategy, which includes a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and promoting sustainable practices. The company has set targets to reduce its energy consumption, waste generation, and water usage, among other things. 

Specsavers is also working to promote sustainability across its supply chain. It has implemented a green procurement policy, which prioritizes environmentally friendly products and suppliers. The company is also engaging with its suppliers to encourage them to adopt sustainable practices. 

The initiative has been well received by both customers and staff. Many have praised Specsavers for taking steps to reduce its environmental impact and promoting sustainability. The company hopes that the recycling boxes will encourage more people to recycle their waste and help to create a more sustainable future. 

Overall, the installation of recycling boxes across Specsavers’ stores is a positive step towards reducing the company’s environmental impact. By promoting recycling and sustainable practices, Specsavers is demonstrating its commitment to creating a more sustainable future for all.
