However, we were far from delighted to learn that the recycling company Terracycle will no longer collect blister packs for recycling from local pharmacies, they can only go to Superdrug Pharmacies and in very small quantities. We think this is a very poor move, so it would be really great if everyone could sign the online petition at https://bit.ly/ blister-pack-recycling. See our Facebook page for more details.

Many poor countries such as Nepal and Kenya have been affected to which we have made significant donations. We recently reported on this in Focus Magazine.
