Are Blister Packs Recyclable?

“Blister pack is a term for several types of pre-formed plastic packaging used for small consumer goods, foods, and for pharmaceuticals.” Everything from toys to electronics have been known to come in blister packs.

According to answers.com, credit for the invention is given to Enock Ancker of Fort Bayard, New Mexico who invented the blister pack for pills on Feb 18, 1947.

The term “credit” for the invention is actually used loosely since opinions are mixed on blister packs. They are useful in so many ways, such as visual display of products and theft deterrence, but they are so difficult to open.

Blister packs are not necessarily the favorite packaging of environmentalists, either. Since they consist of either a mixture of heavy stock paper or boxboard or foil and a multitude of plastics, blister packs are not recyclable at most recycling centers without the commodities being separated; a very expensive venture.

To be on the safe side, call your local recycling center to see if blister packs are an accepted item.

    2. Having herpes is not the end of life. There is a treatment that can get rid of Genital herpes with traditional herbs from Dr. Shaibu. I was positive about this infection (HERPES) and I lost hope because I was outcast and rejected even by my closest friends. I searched online to know and enquirer cure for HERPES and I got a testimony posted by a patient on how she was cured of HSV by Dr. Shaibu herbal product, So I decided to contact the same herbalist Dr. Shaibu because I know that nature has the power to heal everything. I contacted him to know how he can help me and he told me never to worry that he will help me with the natural herbs created by God Almighty! After contacting him, he told me that the cure has to be prepared and he will send it to me via (UPS Delivery service) and unfortunately, it got to me after 5 days! I used the medicine as he instructed me (MORNING and EVENING) and I was cured! it's really like a dream but I am so happy now! That's the reason I decided to also add more comments on Him so that more can be saved just like me! and if you need his help, you can email him on drshaibuabacha@gmail.com or whats-app +2347017709481 God bless you.

  4. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
