I agree wholeheartedly we have been taking empty blister packs into The Superdrug store Accrington for two years but they are refusing them now please advise where we should take them this was a really good initiative and should not be let go back into landfill.
Same at the Milton Keynes superdrug o
Pharmacy store still not taking pill blister packs anymore despite the greenwashing advertisement on their website saying they do take them. It's a joke. I see no one is replying to these messages either lol.
Good afternoon,
thank you for contacting us.
TerraCycle's role in the Superdrug recycling scheme is to recycle the medicine blister packs sent to us by Superdrug pharmacies. All programmatic decisions, including the number of participating locations and how many blister packs can be dropped off, belong to Superdrug. If you have any questions or feedback on these topics we recommend that you email Superdrug directly at help@superdrug.com or contact in other ways via www.superdrug.com/contact.
For context, medicine blister packs are not typically recyclable because they cost more to collect and recycle than the resulting recycled materials are worth. This programme is free to members of the public because Superdrug is funding the costs of collecting and recycling the waste.
Your feedback is important, and letting manufacturers, brands, and retailers know that recycling solutions for the products you buy are important to you, will go a long way in launching and scaling these and other recycling solutions.
Kind regards,
If its so hard to recycle why not change to a product that can be ??? Veg based liner and paper on the out side to the light doe'nt get to it ot grease proof it goes on , u can just see how many there must be 😪
