Elizabeth Strivens 8/08/2023 3:48 AMResearching recycling initiatives in my local area has been really interesting, there are multiple opticians who donate unused glasses to a charity initiative within the UK - Lions Recycle For Sight Program.
Glasses are also sent directly to contacts running eye clinics in Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Ghana, Nigeria, and Nepal. In addition, volunteers from the ‘Unite for Sight’ charity are supplied with spectacles to take with them on missions to countries across the world.
