Medication

​

Long-gone are the days of medication being packaged and dispensed in glass containers.

​

These days, it’s all about plastic. For people taking medication on a regular basis, this can translate to a lot of plastic consumption in either bottles or bubble packs.

​

Ask your pharmacy to dispense your medication in stock bottles if possible.

​

If it isn’t, bring your vial back to the pharmacy when you refill your prescription for it to be re-used.

​

Plastic-free pro-tip: medication stock bottles and vials can be recycled, or re-used.
