However, we are informed by NHS England that the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory calculated the carbon emissions from inhalers in England as 850,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents.

star this property answer text <p>We are informed by NHS England that its joint Public Health England funded Sustainable Development Unit (SDU) has reviewed a scheme operated by GlaxoSmithKline that encourages return of inhalers for recycling. The scheme is very welcome but limited in scope, currently recovering around 1% of all inhalers.</p><p>All used inhalers can already be returned to all pharmacies to be disposed of by incineration with the medicines waste streams.</p><p>NHS England has invited industry suggestions to the national Low Carbon Inhalers Working Group established by the SDU, on ways to increase recovery for environmentally safe disposal and recycling.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published an online only patient decision aid for inhalers used in the treatment of asthma on 8 April 2019.</p><p>The purpose of this aid is to help people with asthma and their healthcare professional to discuss the different inhaler devices that are available to treat their condition and where appropriate, to consider the environmental impact of the inhaler. The patient decision aid has been downloaded over 1,500 times since its publication.</p><p>To encourage use of the decision aid, NICE is contributing to an expert working group on sustainable inhalers led by the Sustainable Development Unit which is actively promoting this work. The working group members include clinicians and patient organisations, such as Asthma UK and the British Lung Foundation. NICE has also shared the patient decision aid through its network of NICE associates - a network of National Health Service professionals who support implementation of NICE guidance across the NHS.</p>

star this property answer text <p>NHS England has been in regular dialogue with industry over the last 18 months about the need to reduce the environmental damage caused by asthma inhalers. As a result, an industry working group on this has been formed, chaired by the Industry Pharmaceutical Aerosol Consortium (IPAC). IPAC has now accepted an invitation to join the national Low Carbon Inhalers Working Group, chaired by the Sustainable Development Unit, to represent industry. This working group has been asked to provide proposals from industry on reducing the carbon impacts of inhalers to support the NHS Long Term Plan target.</p> more like this

The reuse or recycling of waste is preferred to energy recovery, through incineration for example, or disposal to landfill.</p> more like this
