South West Healthcare have seen great results from the use of Haines Medical Environmentally Friendly Paper Pill Cups.

鈥淥ur new paper medicine cups are a fantastic example of how sustainability is becoming embedded across our region-wide health service. The use of plastic medicine cups had been raised as an issue by staff, the SWH Sustainability Committee and some of our patients,鈥� said South West Healthcare Clinical Product Advisor, Steph Hughes.

鈥淲e identified the paper version as a suitable replacement for 95% of the plastic medicine cups we鈥檝e been using.

鈥淭he cups are wax-free and plastic-free and 100% biodegradable/compostable. They decompose within 2鈥�6 weeks in general waste. They can also be recycled and composted and we鈥檙e about to start investigating options to divert them away from landfill.

鈥淭o top it off, they鈥檙e going to save us around $65,000 a year, organisation-wide. That鈥檚 the difference in price between paper and the traditional plastic. We鈥檒l still need to use a 30 mL graduated plastic medicine cup for elixir medications (where a designated medication syringe is not used).

鈥淭his is a terrific example of an initiative with both environmental and financial benefits.鈥�
