Pharmaceutical Consumer Takeback Suite from Stericycle Environmental Solutions Earns Top Product of the Year Award from Environmental Leader

INDIANAPOLIS--()--Stericycle Environmental Solutions, a leading provider of environmental and regulated waste management solutions, announces today that its pharmaceutical consumer takeback suite received a Top Product of the Year Award at the Environmental Leader Product & Project Awards.

Stericycle’s pharmaceutical consumer takeback suite, consisting of Seal&Send Medication MailBack Envelopes and Medication Collection Kiosks, helps organizations and consumers safely return unwanted medication.

Seal&Send Medication MailBack Envelopes provide a safe and convenient option for consumers to dispose of their unused or expired drugs by filling a pre-addressed envelope with up to 8 oz. of pharmaceutical waste and dropping it into any USPS mailbox. Similarly, Medication Collection Kiosks offer a reliable, anonymous outlet for consumers to dispose of unwanted drugs in a safe place within their communities.

“Stericycle’s pharmaceutical consumer takeback suite has multifaceted benefits,” said one Environmental Leader judge. “It is not only diverting a waste stream and reducing pollutants in waterways but addressing a serious epidemic in the US – opioid abuse.”

Another judge added, “This is a simple yet innovative solution to an important challenge that retailers and others have had a hard time solving due to regulatory and other constraints.”

The Environmental Leader Product & Project Awards is a program recognizing excellence in products and services that provide companies with energy and environmental benefits, or in projects implemented by companies that improved environmental or energy management and increased the bottom line.

With rapid advancements and a continuous rate of change in the field, sustainability and energy professionals have a notoriously difficult time knowing what products to choose to help their companies increase energy, environmental, and sustainability performance. The Environmental Leader Product & Project Awards give companies a solid base of products, vetted by experts, from which to choose, as well as a variety of successful projects to illustrate how sustainability and energy management is helping companies improve.

"With a highly respected (and critical) judging panel and a strict set of judging criteria, entrants faced an extremely high bar for the level of product or project to qualify for an award," says Tim Hermes, publisher of Environmental Leader parent company, Business Sector Media. "Those who entered needed to bring their A-game to get even a sniff of award-nirvana. And they delivered."
