If a Bionutri product contains either probiotics or sensitive plant oils, they often come blister packed to ensure quality and stability from the first to the last capsule or tablet. Like this, the blister will always come packed in a printed box.

We’ve recently updated these boxes to an uncoated board, which is fully biodegradable. Also, the inks we use to print on the board are water soluble and can be added to either your weekly recycling or your compost.

We fully recognise the need to be mindful of the environmental impact of our products. As our range has expanded over the last 15 years, we have been shocked by the volume of paper card that we get through, which even for a small company like ours can be measured in kilometres per year.

Our boxes may not be as glossy as they used to be but we believe as we have always believed, it is what’s inside that counts.

Of course the major environmental impact in our packaging is in the triple film blisters we use to guarantee quality. We are always looking for the best option as far as sustainability is concerned but we are simply not willing to compromise on quality, especially when working with such sensitive ingredients. However, the blisters we use are recyclable. Superdrug offer a blister recycling service throughout the UK and you can take your used Blister packs down to your local chemist for them to be recycled. follow the link to find out more about where to recycle your used blister packs Recycling scheme for medicine blister packs now in Superdrug | Bayer global
