Working towards something bigger than Bayfields

As our Bayfields family grows, we need to make sure that it grows responsibly, sustainably, and never to the detriment of our communities or our planet.

At Bayfields, looking after people goes hand in hand with looking after the world we all share. We’re always finding new ways to reduce our impact, support our communities, and make choices that are kinder to the planet.

Sustainability isn’t a corporate exercise for us. It’s a responsibility we’re all proud to share.

Our sustainability projects

Becoming a Carbon Balanced Business

Many of our practices have already reached Net Zero or carbon balanced status, and more are joining them each month as we work towards our goal of becoming a fully carbon balanced business by the end of 2026. For us, being carbon balanced means cutting our emissions wherever we can, and carefully balancing the rest through independently verified projects that make a real difference to people and the planet through our trusted sustainability partners

Reducing our Impact

We know it’s not always easy to work out what to do with old glasses, contact lenses or hearing aids, especially when some of them can’t be recycled at home. So we’ve made it simpler than ever to do the right thing.


- Terracycle contact lens recycling is available in every Bayfields practice. We recycle the lenses and their packaging, helping reduce waste and keep plastic out of the environment.


- Our Recycline programme gives your old glasses a new life by transforming them into useful new products instead of sending them to landfill.


- Hearing aid recycling means your old devices can be refurbished or reused to support people who need them most.


These small everyday actions make a big difference, and we’re really proud to offer simple ways for our clients to help reduce waste. 

Plastic-Neutral Contact Lenses

We've partnered with CooperVision who work with Plastic Bank to fight against ocean plastic through their Certified Plastic Neutral programme. Our contributions sponsor the collection of plastic waste around the world, offsetting anything we need to use for our daily contact lenses and their packaging. 

Thank you for helping

Whether you’re dropping off old glasses or just curious about what we’re doing, you’re helping us do better for the planet. Thanks for being with us on this journey. We’ll keep making improvements - one month at a time. 

 

*At Bayfields Opticians and Audiologists, we are dedicated to our sustainability journey. That’s why we aim for all our practices to achieve Net Zero status by the end of 2026. As our business continues to grow, Net Zero status will be achieved within 6 months of operation. Our commitment to sustainability aligns with industry standards and best practices, ensuring that we play our part in reducing our environmental impact.
