People with respiratory illnesses can now recycle their inhalers thanks to a new initiative launched by The Co-operative Pharmacy and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). The scheme – a first in Europe – is part of an initial six-month trial in partnership with eco-friendly manufacturer, TerraCycle UK.  Approximately 35 million GSK respiratory inhalers, including 25 million Ventolin packs are used in the UK each year1 generating some 450 tonnes of waste which potentially end up in landfill or incineration
