What we do

Introducing Opticycle, Australia's only end to end recycling solution for used contact lens cases and eyeglasses. Opticycle is committed to advancing environmental sustainability and tackling the recycling difficulties related to products from the opticle industry.

With a keen focus on preserving the planet, Opticycle streamlines the recycling process for contact lens cases, which often pose difficulties for conventional recycling systems due to their size and composite material structure. Opticycle has also developed a process to recycle used eyeglasses and lenses. 

Opticycle encourages individuals across Australia to actively participate in waste reduction and contribute to a greener and more eco-conscious future.
