CooperVision has launched MADE BETTER, a new global sustainability platform that begins with the MyDay daily disposable contact lens family. According to the company, the initiative brings together responsible sourcing, manufacturing efficiencies and efforts to offset part of the product line’s plastic footprint.

As part of the launch, CooperVision said MyDay packaging now incorporates ISCC PLUS-certified materials in participating products, while manufacturing updates are aimed at lowering carbon impact. The company also said it continues to offset a portion of the MyDay range’s plastic footprint through its plastic neutrality program.

Key elements highlighted by CooperVision include the use of certified bio-attributed plastic in MyDay blister packaging, lower-carbon energy where possible in production, and manufacturing sites that recycle more than 90% of waste. The company said its collaboration with Plastic Bank has also supported the collection and recycling of the equivalent of more than 659 million plastic bottles from coastal communities as of February 2026.

“CooperVision’s sustainability progress begins with innovation—in materials, manufacturing, and the way we think about the full life cycle of our products,” said Aldo Zucaro, senior director of corporate responsibility at CooperCompanies. “MADE BETTER Promise reflects how we are turning those innovations into real-world impact.”

CooperVision said the MADE BETTER platform is intended as an ongoing global commitment, with future advances in materials, technologies and processes aimed at further reducing environmental impact over time.
