TerraCycle’s Post

Where I stand, this is a mind-blowing game changer in waste management. This blister packs are a conspicuous and ubiquitous waste stream within the hard to recycle waste stream category. It is also one of the major ways Big Pharma contributes to waste and pollution resulting to biodiversity loss especially in the case of life below water. I'm not sure there's any offtaker for the blister packs in Nigeria and Africa. There should be a win win way to partner with big brands like TerraCycle to have this type of waste recycling in low and middle income countries like ours because what we do is beyond profit making but aimed at sustainable prosperity.

120 years of invention and innovation that continues to set the worldwide benchmark in a multitude of packaging applications.

#walgreens Can you explain the new plastic pouch packaging for prescriptions that is 3 times the size of the prescription bottle (even if I had “bottles”)? Also, my monthly refill prescription is in a bottle that grew to at least twice the size of the old bottle for the same amount of medication? Paper bags were curbside recyclable. Why the change? #paperandpackagingboard

Immensely proud that Bayer has just launched the first-ever PET blister packaging for our #Aleve brand, in partnership with #Liveo Research. This innovative packaging reduces the carbon footprint of this pack by 38% and eliminates PVC— a type of plastic that poses environmental concerns and has its difficulty in recycling. Sustainability is crucial in Consumer Health, as it not only helps protect our planet but also ensures that we are providing safer, more responsible products for our consumers. Blister packaging has historically been a challenge for #sustainability, so we’re proud to lead the way with this new solution and commit to making packaging greener at #TeamBayer in the years ahead.

What to do with Prescription Bottles?

Sprite Goes Naked An important update for Sprite in the UK. The Coca-Cola Company will temporarily remove labels from Sprite and Sprite Zero on-the-go bottles this January in a limited trial of “label-less” packaging. The pilot will see labels temporarily removed from single 500ml Sprite and Sprite Zero bottles and replaced with an embossed logo on the front of the pack. Laser-engraved product and nutritional information will appear on the back of pack. Shoppers at selected Tesco Express stores in Brighton & Hove, Bristol, London, and Manchester can see our ‘naked’ bottles on shelves between January and March. In recent years, Coca‑Cola has introduced a number of design changes to help reduce packaging waste, including turning Sprite bottles from green to clear plastic to make them easier to recycle back into bottles. It has also introduced attached caps to its bottles, ensuring that the cap stays connected to the bottle after opening to reduce the potential for littering; and invested in new designs to reduce the amount of packaging it uses, such as creating lightweight bottles and reducing the materials used in external packaging. #brading #packagingdesign #uzaircreative

On 22 April the UK Government announced its intention to ban the sale of wet wipes containing plastic in the UK from the summer of 2024. The announcement included proposals for an exemption from the ban for the supply and sale of wet wipes containing plastic for medical and industrial purposes. All Pal products supplied through our partners, or direct to healthcare providers in the UK will fall within this exemption and our customers can continue to source high quality disinfection wipes directly from Pal. Pal will also continue to supply its products overseas to countries who do not have these same restrictions as those proposed in the UK. Pal remains committed to environmental sustainability and continued product development. We also have plans in place for our manufacturing facilities to be net zero for scope 1 & 2 by the end of 2024. #PalInternational #WetWipeBan

So…you're eagerly unwrapping your latest cannabis purchase only to be met with layers upon layers of packaging. It's like trying to crack a safe just to get to your bud! Regulations are vital for safety but this all feels a bit like overkill. I’m a packaging designer and love this realm but do we really need all this plastic and paperboard for such a tiny amount of product? It's enough to make you wonder if there's a more sensible way to keep things safe without drowning in packaging waste. Here's to hoping for a greener, less excessive future in the cannabis industry! 🎶 by DJ Nutritious (Liquid Culture ) #cannabis #cannabispackaging #sustainablepackaging #sustainablelife #cannabisregulations #crpackaging Merchant Boxes Lazy Turtle Group
