Environmental Policy

Classic Optical is focused on being an "eco-friendly" optical lab with every associate embracing this mission and contributing to our goal.

Classic Optical has a well-established "Green Team" that assesses opportunities within our optical manufacturing facilities for potential environmental impacts and how best to mitigate. This initiative examines air and water quality considerations, as well as promotes day-to-day reduce, reuse and recycle awareness. With complete support from executive leadership, this team has helped implement improved waste-segregation technologies, as well as transitioned production to less toxic chemicals in the manufacturing process.
