Global PHARMACEUTICAL Packaging is not sustainable and hasn’t been for a long time. packaging in this area increases up to 6.5% every year with 45% of recyclable goods actually being recycled in the UK.
\Our Idea, to propose a re-vending machine. Allowing simple pharmaceutical products to be packaged the same way, this vending machine can both dispense daily pharmaceuticals as well as collect empty and finished containers, automatically scanning for quality and separating them into lids, bodies, and other parts. This then allows individual companies to collect parts which they product, closing the circular system and recycling a large majority of the waste products.
All our product are also designed to be made out of a plant based called PET. This allows products which are deemed un-recyclable to be biodegradable when in landfill.
Re-Vend aims to heavily reduce the growing global pharmaceutical packaging waste with a circular closed loop design system and introducing the re-vend machine and re-vend loyalty scheme.
The Re-Vend brand also offers a loyalty card scheme where users can collect points for bringing their empty bottles back and recycling them. These points can be exchanged for vouchers at many large supermarkets and provides incentive.
