Recycle blister packs and earn Boots Advantage Card points by spending £5 in store. Packs sent to MYGroup for processing.
You earn 100 points for every five packs, which equals £1. To get the reward, you must also spend £5 in the store. After dropping them off, the packs go to MYGroup.
MYGroup separates the plastic and foil components. Usually, you cannot recycle these packs at home because they contain both plastic and foil, making them hard to process properly. Often, blister packs end up in landfills or are burned.
MYGroup turns the plastic into MYBoardTM, a material used for playground gear, furniture, and construction supplies. The foil from the packs can be reused right away.
Boots knows people want to recycle these packs and is making recycling available across the country. They tested this idea before, and other stores now recycle blister packs too, including Superdrug and Aldi.
