The trial started in February 2024 and has now processed more than seven tons of blister packs at the group\u2019s facility in Hull. The scheme forms a part of the partnership\u2019s wider \u201cRecycle at Boots\u201d programme which includes other health and beauty packaging.<\/p>\n<p>Customers who take part in the scheme are able to claim Boots Advantage Card loyalty points in exchange for the used blister packs and other products they deposit in-store. This is facilitated by the scheme\u2019s technology partner, Metrisk, through the \u201cRecycle at Boots\u201d app. The blister pack recycling programme is also run at GP surgeries, pharmacies and veterinary practices. MYGroup runs a similar collection with Tesco in partnership with consumer healthcare company Kenvue.<\/p>\n<p>Blister packs are traditionally difficult to recycle as they contain both aluminium foil and plastic. As a result, they are not usually accepted through household kerbside collections and are sent to landfill or incineration. MYGroup separates and recovers both the aluminium foil and plastic. The former is sent to a nearby refinery for remanufacturing into ingots while the plastic is sent through both a PVC recycling process for recovery back to supply chains, as well used in the production of the company\u2019s MYboard for hard-to-recycle plastics. MYBoard is a material similar in consistency to plywood and is used in construction, joinery, shop fittings and furniture. The process makes provision for accidental hazardous contamination from unused medicines which is recovered into biofuel.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.letsrecycle.com\/news\/blister-pack-recycling-scheme-extends-to-800-boots-stores\/\">Let&#8217;s Recycle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-667\/\">Blister pack recycling scheme extends to 800 Boots stores<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[17902,1936,575,764],"class_list":["post-137344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-blister-pack","tag-boots","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-recycling"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137344\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
