Stericycle’s pharmaceutical consumer takeback suite, consisting of
Seal&Send Medication MailBack Envelopes and Medication Collection
Kiosks, helps organizations and consumers safely return unwanted
medication.
Seal&Send Medication MailBack Envelopes provide a safe and convenient
option for consumers to dispose of their unused or expired drugs by
filling a pre-addressed envelope with up to 8 oz. of pharmaceutical
waste and dropping it into any USPS mailbox. Similarly, Medication
Collection Kiosks offer a reliable, anonymous outlet for consumers to
dispose of unwanted drugs in a safe place within their communities.
“Stericycle’s pharmaceutical consumer takeback suite has multifaceted
benefits,” said one Environmental Leader judge. “It is not only
diverting a waste stream and reducing pollutants in waterways but
addressing a serious epidemic in the US – opioid abuse.”
Another judge added, “This is a simple yet innovative solution to an
important challenge that retailers and others have had a hard time
solving due to regulatory and other constraints.”
The Environmental Leader Product & Project Awards is a program
recognizing excellence in products and services that provide companies
with energy and environmental benefits, or in projects implemented by
companies that improved environmental or energy management and increased
the bottom line.
With rapid advancements and a continuous rate of change in the field,
sustainability and energy professionals have a notoriously difficult
time knowing what products to choose to help their companies increase
energy, environmental, and sustainability performance. The Environmental
Leader Product & Project Awards give companies a solid base of products,
vetted by experts, from which to choose, as well as a variety of
successful projects to illustrate how sustainability and energy
management is helping companies improve.
"With a highly respected (and critical) judging panel and a strict set
of judging criteria, entrants faced an extremely high bar for the level
of product or project to qualify for an award," says Tim Hermes,
publisher of Environmental Leader parent company, Business Sector Media.
"Those who entered needed to bring their A-game to get even a sniff of
award-nirvana. And they delivered."
