Did you know your inhaler should be disposed of safely by your pharmacy, not put in the bin at home ?
Across England, Wales and Scotland 61.1 million inhaler items are prescribed annually with a total carbon footprint of 1,342,923,023 kg CO2e (NHSBSA Apr-June 21). Pressurised metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) account for 71.6% of all inhaler device types prescribed in England, 68.8% in Wales and 66.6% in Scotland (NHSBSA Apr-Jun 21). The UK pMDI use is higher than the rest of Europe (<50%) and Scandinavia (10–30%).
Return your inhaler to the pharmacy – this protects the environment, this will help to reduce our carbon footprint.
