Sustainability in pharmacy

Apothecaries are committed to sustainable working and sustainability. Think about collecting medicine waste and preventing waste of medicine and devices. Read more about the forms of sustainable care in pharmacy on this page.

What do we do as pharmacies

• We pay attention to reducing energy and resource consumption
• Our bicycle couriers deliver as many packages as possible
• We are actively engaged in the prevention of unnecessary medication use (e.g., reducing unnecessary antibiotics, stopping medication when possible and focusing on proper use)
• The environment is taken into account when choosing a medicine

What can you do as a client

• Please bring your own bag when you come to pick up medication
• Medicines left over? Don't let the environment down and return them to your pharmacy
  • Residual lactulose and non-drug creams (such as petroleum jelly or cetomacrogol cream) may be disposed of with regular household waste.
  • Please remove boxes and package inserts when handing in drug residues (this way you avoid unnecessary small chemical waste) and labels for privacy reasons.
• Come to pick up the medication (by bike or on foot) if you can (tip: we have lockers 24/7!)
