and on the topic of recycling -
Blister packs are small and often discarded to end up in landfill. Have you ever stopped to think about the volume? It seems like such a small item to consider recycling but if you simply threw them into a draw instead of the rubbish bin, you would be amazed at just how quickly the drawer fills up!
Not sure what we are talking about? Here is a pile of blister packs heading for recycling.
Blister packs are currently being recycled, with the salvaged plastic making decking products and the foil is being used in steel-making. Blister packs contain reusable plastic and infinitely recyclable aluminium foil. Sending your blister packs for recycling saves them from landfill and gives them a second life.
So, next time you empty a blister pack, throw it in your bottom drawer, then when you have a few (doesn't take long to get quite a collection), drop them into the recycling box at your nearest Chemist Warehouse. It is this simple and if we all do it, that is a massive contribution to recycling and yet another way to minimise the quantity in our rubbish bins heading to landfill.
