Lance and I are both keen and passionate recyclers.
I love to see him peering under bottles or on the back of packets looking for this symbol.
He will race straight to our recycling bin and tell me that he has saved a can or a piece of paper.
I am obsessive when it comes to recycling. I always feel triumphant when my recycling bin is brimming over and my garbage bin contains only household scraps.
Therefore, Lance and I were very impressed when we noticed “the symbol” on the packaging of something we have to have in our possession, like it or not.
An empty box of Accu Chek Performa Strips.
Not only that, but the plastic container that holds the strips can also be recycled!
In these photos are an empty vial and box from a used batch of lancets. Accu Chek packaging can be recycled, which means very little to the average person, but a lot to passionate recyclers!
Diabetes cost the Goverment billions of dollars each year. It is a small but positive step that drug companies are going green in regards to their packaging being recyclable. Some days it’s tough to think of anything good about having Diabetes, but my son and I were both excited about the “symbol” appearing on essential Diabetes equipment.
Insulin is not a cure.
