Sustainability

This page of our website has been developed in direct response to suggestions made at our Patient Reference Group.

Members of the group have also assisted with the content - if you would like to send us any additional information or links on recycling of clinical packaging or related topics then please email the practice on u.healthcentre@nhs.net so that we can add them to this page.

Thank you for your support !

Recycling

Some dental products can be recycled via Terracycle https://www.terracycle.com/en-GB/brigades/philips-uk

Boots Opticians in Huddersfield has a recycle point for disposable contact lenses and their packaging (in the far right corner almost behind the tills by the window) 

Superdrug accept empty blister packs at their pharmacy stores https://www.superdrug.com/dgfs/waste-recycling/Medicine-Recycling

 After a successful launch, ALDI have paused their blister pack recycling while they review the scheme. We are hoping it will be  reinstated but in the meantime you can check progress at https://www.aldi.co.uk/corporate/corporate-responsibility/greener/recycle
