Very useful and easy way to recycle blister packs

A friend recommended Zero Waste bags to me - a great way to be able to recycle items such as pill packets, oral health products like toothpaste tubes. Small ones are easy to put in a drawer in a convenient place and use frequently. I highly recommend

Such a brilliant and easy way of recycling medication packaging. No fuss, really simple and easy to follow instructions.

Couldn't believe how many empty medicine blister packs I managed to put in the small Terracycle bag! Great idea for anyone taking regular medication.

Great to be able to recycle all my medication blister packs, I would like to recycle more but it would become quite expensive

So pleased a service like this exists. I give up luxuries now & then to pay for a bag & it makes me feel good, I fear terribly for my daughters future & doing this eases my guilt somewhat & doesn’t put me out too much in my busy life. Thank you - I sometimes struggle to locate my QR code but I’m starting to get the hang of it!

I've put a bag under my bathroom sink so every used tooth brush/paste goes straight in a bag, one near my medicines so used blister packs go straight in. Don't buy them and forget them, use them, it doesn't matter how long it takes you to fill them up, and it's so easy to send them back as well.

Everything has been straightforward so far, just waiting now until I fill my first bag and send it off. Really glad to have somewhere to recycle the blister packs that the council doesn't take.

I really want to recycle as much as possible, but the bags are really expensive.

I was very impressed with the speed my order of the Zero Waste Bags was delivered. I am now filling the bag with empty blister packs. I hope it is as straightforward to get the bag collected once I have filled them.

We recently made our first purchase of the Zero Waste Bag Starter Bundle from Terracycle for our serviced apartments at Harper Luxe, and I must say it has been a fantastic addition. The bundle is not only easy to use but aligns perfectly with our sustainability goals. As a business committed to reducing waste and protecting the environment, this product has been a great way to encourage both our team and our guests to recycle more effectively.

The process of ordering and using the Zero Waste Bag was smooth, and it’s reassuring to know that Terracycle is helping us recycle materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. This is only the first of many orders we plan to place, as we continue to make eco-friendly choices across our apartments.

I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking to take their first step towards better recycling practices. It’s a simple yet impactful way to make a positive difference for the planet.

Thank you, Terracycle, for creating a product that supports our sustainability journey! We look forward to working with you more in the future.

All the best,
Oliver Harper
Director, Harper Luxe Serviced Apartments

I consider Zero Waste Bags an essential purchase now. It works out at 2 pence or less per recycled item and I am content to pay this, at least until the UK government wakes up to its recycling responsibilities. Thank you for providing an excellent service, TerraCycle ♻️💚

There are lots of types of plastic we cannot recycle easily in the local area. Since using these, we have almost zero landfill waste production which is unbelievable

Very easy process to follow and well worth the small amount of effort required

These bags are very useful especially as our council has recently reduced the amount of rubbish that they will collect. By using the large bags for cat food packaging and crisps/snack packaging we have managed to reduce our landfill waste considerably. We are also using one of the small bags for medication blister packs but have not decided what to use the other small bag for yet. As our bags are not full yet we have not had experience of taking them to the collection point.

Having separate waste streams you realise how much still goes to landfill. Nice to be able to recycle more than just via the council bins.

I love the concept and I had fast and efficient delivery of my first bags. I've filled my pack of 6 small bags already and will return soon. Only slight criticism: a few of the glue strips have sprung open on the bags once I unpealed and tried sealing them - not ideal.

While as a household we are lucky enough to afford to be able to do this, after many conversations with friends and family it's clear that the cost of using the terracycle zero waste bags puts the majority of people off. If our local authority decides to incinerate our waste going forward this will be a cheaper option for our household and a consideration for us going forward.
The fact that we have a very convienient drop off point helps to make this recycling scheme work at the moment.

System seemssound - am about to return my first bag of med blister packs - have felt very guilty about those - so am very pleased to find a reliable disposal/recycle route. Next bag will be audio cassettes - time to go ...

Simple returns process and great for recycling harder to recycle items that you might not collect lots of quickly (e.g. dental products, medicine blister packs). Quite expensive though but hopefully worth it to get these things properly recycled.

I've been using these bags for a while now, OK they're not cheap but you can cram loads in! Delivery is really quick and the returns process is very easy to navigate. I love that the things I'm collecting and sending back are not going into landfill but are being dealt with properly - and for that I'm willing to pay.

We received the bags promptly despite it being over Easter. It was very easy to send the bags back. Would highly recommend.

The bags are a bit easy to damage (I'm relatively weak and easily ripped them) and the sticky parts don't stick very consistently. Collection is good and overall a bit easier than the boxes
