Closed Require pharmacies to offer recycling facilities for blister packs

Closed on

Most medicine blister packs are made from a composite of aluminium and plastic. This requires specialist recycling, which very few pharmacists offer. We want the Government to require pharmacies to offer recycling facilities for blister packs, so more of these are recycled.

That these blister packs are often binned is a waste of material. Too few pharmacists offer recycling for blister packs. We want this to be made a legal requirement.
