By placing delivery notes inside orders without external packaging, Johnson & Johnson Vision will save nearly 10t of plastic across Europe annually.

Vision Care EMEA area vice-president Jacqueline Henderson said: “At Johnson & Johnson Vision, we’re dedicated to reducing our environmental impact and finding sustainable solutions. This is why we’ve made the decision to optimise our packaging by removing plastic pouches and using stickers instead.

“It may seem like a small step, but it’s significant; even minimal changes to day-to-day processes can make a huge impact in the long run and help contribute to a healthier planet.”

The latest move will support Johnson & Johnson’s goal to reach net-zero by 2030. It will be implemented in the UK in the next two months.
