How many plastic face shields are going to landfill or incinerator now along with all the other single use PPE and plastic we are disposing of on a daily basis? Will keep supplying these? When will we see the switch to in this sector also?

Gloves and masks washing up on beaches have become a symbol of the rise of single-use plastics during the coronavirus outbreak

The pandemic has resulted in a resurge in single use plastics. It now makes more sense than ever for businesses and pharmacies to stop using single use plastics where possible. If we know a product is going to be used once and discarded why not explore plastic-free options and limit the use of plastic.
Ask your pharmacist to choose Enviropharm when supplying you or a relation's medication.

Samples arrived! No longer a need for pharmacists to supply medication in plastic zip-lock bags. Silky smooth, and a more quality feel and finish to standard oil-based plastics. Designed so customers think twice before discarding. These bags are made of starch, designed to break down in compost. The potential to divert 150,000 plastic bags from landfill and incinerator in Ireland weekly!

Langkawi-also known as the Jewel of Kedah.
Just some of the array of plastic debris including medical bottles I saw washed ashore sadly scourges this coastline😔 As a result of growth in single-use plastics, it's estimated there are now 5.25 trillion pieces of ocean plastic debris.

The smell of burning plastic led us to this landfill site😷 Developing countries don't have the infrastructure or wealth to recycle their own plastics, let alone exports from developed western countries. @ Langkawi Island, Malaysia

Shifting towards a circular economy benefits businesses and the environment! 💰✅We can surely reuse certain packaging!

Mixed materials like this CANNOT be recycled and must be discarded in the general waste! Pharmacists need to reconsider their packaging options!🌾💊🤔

Businesses need to reevaluate their attitude towards single use plastics! Recycling plastic isn't acceptable. Reduce, reuse.....or don't use❌📉〽️
