In an era where sustainability is more than a buzzword, CooperVision, a global leader in contact lens manufacturing, partnered with Wrappr to redefine eco-friendly gifting. This collaboration not only showcased their mutual commitment to the environment but also set a new standard for sustainable corporate events.

Setting the Scene: A Sustainable Launch at Arcadia Earth

On May 2, 2025, CooperVision hosted a groundbreaking launch event at Arcadia Earth in Toronto—a venue renowned for its immersive environmental art installations. This choice of location underscored CooperVision's dedication to ecological responsibility and provided the perfect backdrop for unveiling their latest initiatives.

The Wrappr Touch: Custom Furoshiki for a Greener Tomorrow

To elevate the event's sustainability quotient, CooperVision collaborated with Wrappr to design custom-branded furoshiki wraps. These reusable fabric wraps, rooted in the Japanese tradition of eco-conscious gift wrapping, replaced conventional single-use packaging. Attendees received their event gifts swathed in these elegant, reusable wraps, encouraging them to repurpose and reduce waste long after the event concluded.

CooperVision's Commitment to Environmental Stewardship

This partnership with Wrappr is a natural extension of CooperVision's longstanding dedication to sustainability. The company has implemented numerous initiatives across its global operations:

• Recycling Excellence: CooperVision recycles over 95% of materials used in production, including nearly 100% of plastic components, which are repurposed into products like traffic cones and molded chairs. 

• Water Conservation: Innovative water reuse systems have led to a 35% reduction in municipal water consumption at their Puerto Rico facility since 2015, saving approximately 1.4 million gallons of wastewater. 

• Renewable Energy: Facilities in New York and the UK operate on 100% renewable electricity, utilizing wind and biomass energy sources. 

• LEED Certifications: Multiple CooperVision sites, including those in Costa Rica and Puerto Rico, have earned LEED Silver and Gold certifications for their environmentally conscious designs and operations. 

Wrappr: Pioneering Sustainable Gift Wrapping

Wrappr's mission aligns seamlessly with CooperVision's values. By offering reusable, artist-designed fabric wraps, Wrappr promotes a shift away from disposable gift packaging. Their collaboration with CooperVision exemplifies how businesses can integrate sustainability into every facet of their operations, from product development to event planning.

A Model for Sustainable Corporate Events

The CooperVision and Wrappr partnership serves as an inspiring blueprint for companies aiming to infuse sustainability into their corporate culture. By choosing eco-friendly venues, adopting reusable materials, and collaborating with like-minded partners, businesses can make meaningful strides toward environmental responsibility.
