BLOOMS The Chemist, in partnership with Pharmacycle, has reached a blister pack recycling milestone, doubling the number recycled to 20 million over the past 12 months.
The first national pharmacy company to launch the initiative nationwide in Nov 2022, Blooms The Chemist hit its 10 million milestone at the end of last year (PD 10 Dec).
In total, over 30,000 kilograms of aluminium and plastic has been recovered from recycled blister packs.
Partners include Pharmacycle, the country's first and only end-to-end recycling program with specialised technology to process medicinal blister pack waste, and key sponsor Reckitt Benckiser.
"This initiative reflects Blooms' commitment to responsible business practices," said Blooms The Chemist's Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer Pamela Bishop.
"By reducing waste, we're supporting a healthier planet and healthier people, in line with our purpose to build a future where everyone, everywhere has access to good health and wellbeing.
"We're proud of our partnership with Pharmacycle and Reckitt, proving that collaboration can drive meaningful change," Bishop concluded.
