OVER-THE-COUNTER medication brand, Chemists' Own, has launched Australia's first free recycling program for blister pack waste.
In partnership with recycling company, TerraCycle, the Arrotex brand aims to redirect 650,000 blister packs from going into landfill in the first 12 months of the program, with patients being able to drop off blister pack waste at participating pharmacies.
The program will initially be rolled out out through 49 Pharmacy Alliance stores in NSW and Queensland, with plans to expand nationwide at a later date.
