Sustainability is one of the key topics at opti and will continue to be addressed and discussed in various forms in 2025. At the SUSTAINABILITY HUB, launched by the IG Nachhaltigkeit in 2022, a wide range of lectures and impulses on current topics related to sustainability will be offered.
The opti SUSTAINABILITY HUB can be found as part of the opti HUB ARENA in hall C3.
Don't miss out on the numerous highlights at the hub, including, for example, a talk that addresses the question of how sustainability is anchored in university work/master and optometrist training or a presentation that focuses on the circular eyewear design. Another must-see is the members of the IG Nachhaltigkeit, who will once again be contributing their expertise to the programme. For example, with the topic: State of the art of sustainability in ophthalmic optics – a round table discussion with members of the IG Nachhaltigkeit.
The programme at the opti SUSTAINABILITY HUB offers you both practical information and insights into the latest developments in sustainability. Presentations and talks invite you to take a close look at the challenges and opportunities of sustainable business practices. The hub serves as a platform for networking with like-minded people and discussing ideas.
Sustainability in ophthalmic optics - a matter close to IG Nachhaltigkeit's heart that requires attention.
ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY INTEREST GROUP
In 2022, the sustainability webinars at opti FORUM XT gave rise to the idea of communicating and bundling sustainable actions and processes of every individual in the industry in order to encourage as many imitators as possible. The sustainability community of interest was born and has been meeting regularly online and in person at opti ever since.
GOALS OF THE SUSTAINABILITY INTEREST GROUP
Saving plastic in ophthalmic optics or at least making it recyclable - that is currently the focus of the community of interest. This is a very ambitious project, which can be vividly illustrated by the topics of "support discs" and "contact lens blisters". This requires the commitment of the entire industry.
