Bausch + Lomb and TerraCycle Announce Donation of New Custom Training Modules to Guide Dog Foundation

Bausch + Lomb in collaboration with TerraCycle, a leader in the collection and repurposing of hard-to-recycle post-consumer waste, announced the donation of custom training modules to the Guide Dog Foundation, a national not-for-profit that trains guide dogs for people who are blind or visually impaired. The training modules, including benches, tables, waste stations, and an agility ramp, were made from used contact lens materials collected through the Bausch + Lomb ONE by ONE Recycling Program, along with other recycled material.

The training modules will be presented to the Guide Dog Foundation at its headquarters in Smithtown, New York, and will be utilized in the training of guide dogs for individuals who are blind or visually impaired as well as helping to further enhance the campus for those who visit.

“The ONE by ONE Recycling program and our collaboration with TerraCycle is representative of our company’s long-standing commitment to sustainability. With this donation, we’re taking this program one step further, bringing new life to these materials by supporting the work of the Guide Dog Foundation, an organization that provides sight through the magnificent work of guide dogs for people who are blind or visually impaired,” John Ferris, general manager, U.S. Vision Care, Bausch + Lomb, said in a company news release.
