HEALTHCARE manufacturer Haleon and Pharmacycle have partnered to develop a household blister pack recycling program.
Pharmacycle is Australia's only end-to-end recycling program for blister pack waste and already offers a recycling service though collection bins in almost 1,000 pharmacies nationwide (PD 24 Feb).
The new partnership means that people can order a satchel from Haleon, fill it with empty blister packs from any brand, and mail it using the pre-paid postage label provided.
Pharmacycle will then process the blister packs, giving the plastic and aluminium materials a second life and helping to reduce long-term waste.
Haleon and Pharmacycle will give away free satchels to the first 3,000 people who register their interest, after which Haleon said it "intends to continue and expand this program into the future".
Haleon Marketing Director Nagraj Iyer said the partnership "reflects a shared goal to make sustainability more accessible and achievable, especially for those in rural and remote communities".
"It helps address a long-standing gap by offering a simple, household solution for blister pack recycling," Iyer said.
