How can I reuse or recycle … contact lens containers?

Categories: bathroom, items, packaging

Contact lens packaging A suggestion from Jo:

My husband and I are both on a monthly contact lens package. We are accumulating vast numbers of lenses cases which I do not have the heart to just chuck in the bin! There must be something you can do with them other than make salt & pepper containers for when you go camping!

I await inspiration!

I’m a glasses gal so I haven’t faced this problem - but I’d love to hear if other people have used them for anything or if anyone’s got any suggestions : )

Use them to keep pins, needles, etc.

I need to distribute a very small amount of paste wax with a product I sell.

Would they work?

Have you asked your contact lens company if they’ll take them back? This is something that can definitely be re-used on a professional level, as a contact manufacturer would be able to steralize them properly.

Use them to carry around a small amount of vaseline for chapped lips, or mix your own lipgloss up in them.

Boil them in water to disinfect and reuse them again.

Use lids as checkers pieces.
