Pharmaceutical blister packaging is difficult to recycle, meaning millions of blister packs end up in landfill each year. Discarded medicine can also contaminate waterways (and ultimately food). Central Pharma are seeking to close the loop for blister packaging, in accordance with the Plastics Pact. We will create a circular ecosystem that collects waste blister packs for recycling. Our process allows recycling of these materials into new blister packs, with significant carbon, energy, and cost benefit compared to use of virgin material. It will also greatly reduce the amount of PVC and discarded medicine sent to landfill.

药品吸塑包装很难回收，这意味着每年有数百万个吸塑包装最终被填埋。丢弃的药品也会污染水路（最终污染食物）。根据《塑料公约》，中央制药公司正在寻求关闭吸塑包装的循环。我们将建立一个循环生态系统，收集废旧吸塑包装回收利用。我们的工艺允许将这些材料回收到新的吸塑包装中，与使用原始材料相比，具有显着的碳，能源和成本效益。它还将大大减少送往填埋场的PVC和废弃药品的数量。
