A Lanarkshire optician has helped to launch a recycling scheme which will see customers’ old glasses contact lenses and transformed into new-look items ranging from benches to play-park equipment.
Specsavers has teamed up with recycling firm My Group to install free collection boxes at all its Scottish branches, including its 11 locations across Lanarkshire.
Airdrie and Coatbridge branches retail director Ewan Grieve was among the senior staff working to have the scheme implemented, after repeated requests from customers.
