ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Geothermal electricity from Cornwall and TerraCycle tackles medicine packaging: The sustainability success stories of the week

Blister packs and sachets for medication are not collected for recycling by most local authorities. The fact that they are lightweight and often multi-material, with materials often connected in laminated layers, make them incompatible with most existing recycling infrastructure. With this in mind – and building on the success of similar schemes for products from pet food pouches to Pringles tubes – TerraCycle has partnered with Sanofi UK Consumer Healthcare, which manufactures brands like Buscopan and Dulcolax, to launch a UK-wide take-back scheme for medicine packaging. The partnership is aiming to get 400 pharmacies to launch drop-off points within the first year of the scheme. Once drop-off points are full, their contents get collected by one of TerraCycle’s logistics partners and taken to one of its recycling facilities. Material is then processed ready to make new products like outdoor furniture. Packaging from any brand will be accepted.

Eliminating the idea of plastic waste

Tom Szaky, CEO & Founder, TerraCycle & Loop
Every year, the production, disposal and littering of plastic generates billions of tons of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change. TerraCycle and Loop promote circular models that limit greenhouse gas emissions by creating recycling solutions for complex materials otherwise deemed “unrecyclable” and developing a global packaging reuse platform. “Single use plastic waste is a huge driver of climate change,” says Tom Szaky, CEO and Founder of TerraCycle & Loop. “Since we can’t stop consuming entirely, a fundamental shift in how we treat resources and how we consume is key to changing course.” Third party reviewed Life Cycle Assessments found the recycling and reuse models outperform conventional alternatives such as landfilling and incineration of single use items across key environmental impact categories, including the production of carbon dioxide. “Scale is critical, so we work with brands, retailers and NGOs like World Wildlife Fund to maximize our impact and align our work with global efforts to curb waste and address climate change,” Szaky adds.

Blister pack recycling programme launched by TerraCycle and Sanofi

TerraCycle has partnered with biopharmaceutical company Sanofi, the maker of Buscopan and Dulcolax, to launch a new initiative that allows consumers to recycle their empty medicine blister packs. The ‘Little Packs, Big Impact’ initiative allows consumers in the UK to recycle any empty prescription and over-the-counter medicine blister packets for free by dropping them in dedicated bins when they visit a local participating pharmacy.

Medicine pack recycling initiative rolls out across UK pharmacies

Brits can now recycle their empty medicine blister packets by dropping them off at pharmacies participating in the latest initiative from recycling specialist Terracycle
A new recycling initiative seeking to tackle the waste generated by medicine blister packets is being rolled out across the UK this week through a partnership between recycling firm Terracycle
