Waste pharmaceutical blisters treatment from carbon footprint perspective
Original language description
Within a production of pharmaceuticals, production waste is generated. Among others, a large number of waste pharmaceuticals packaging blisters is produced. Majority of blisters are made of polyvinylchloride (PVC, 80 %) and aluminium foil (20 %). Although both materials are in a good quality, waste pharmaceuticals packaging blisters are in the Czech Republic currently landfilled. Even though landfilling of recycled waste will not be possible by 2024. Furthermore, according to Act No 185/2001 Coll. is landfilling the last preferable option of waste management. However, there is an available technology of mechanical separation in Germany that allows PVC and aluminium recovery. In this study we evaluated current waste treatment and compare it with potential recycling and material recovery in a view of global warming potential. According to the results, recycling of waste pharmaceutical blisters makes sense from an environmental point of view.
