Thank you for your support of this campaign on blister pack recycling so far.

Global Recycling Day

March 18th marks a significant day in our global calendar – Global Recycling Day. It's a moment to reflect on our consumption patterns, waste management practices, and most importantly, our collective responsibility towards the planet. As we navigate the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, recycling emerges as a crucial tool in our arsenal for sustainable living.

Global Recycling Day serves as a reminder of the urgent need to rethink our approach to waste. With landfills overflowing and oceans choking on plastic, recycling stands as a beacon of hope. It offers a tangible solution to mitigate environmental damage, conserve resources, and reduce energy consumption.

Recycling not only minimizes the extraction of raw materials but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with manufacturing processes. Additionally, it fosters the development of a circular economy where materials are reused, repurposed, and recycled, creating a more sustainable and resilient future for generations to come.

The Role of Producers in Recycling

While individual efforts in recycling are commendable, systemic change requires a concerted effort from all stakeholders, including producers. The pharmaceutical industry in particular, plays a pivotal role in shaping the recyclability of medicines. By designing packaging that is easier to recycle, producers can significantly reduce the environmental footprint of their products.

That's why we want urgent action on better packaging and producer responsibility over medicines blister pack containers

Your voice is important

Citizen action and lobbying play a vital role in driving better action on recycling. This petition is one way we can encourage change from policymakers and industry leaders. This acts as a powerful catalyst for shaping policies, fostering innovation, and creating a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Can you help us reach our target of 15,000 signatures to lend a power voice to the Environment Minister and the heads of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Australia? If you can support our change.org petition by chipping in financially, this will spread our reach to reach out goal. 

We're aiming to present this petition to policymakers in April, so any help you can give to push this petition would be greatly appreciated.

Yours for a clean future,

Jasper and Sebastien
