Deterra is environmentally sound through the entire product life cycle. From using 100% wind-generated power in production of the plant-based pouches to the non-toxic organic ingredients to its innovative pouch design, the product:
Provides a convenient and immediate alternative to flushing or discarding medications and prevents still-potent drugs from contaminating our water supply and landfills through activated carbon adsorption.
Has a smaller carbon footprint due to its plant-based packaging. The packaging is USDA Certified, 50% or more bio-based, and has received the I’m green plastic certification.
Deterra Pouches are manufactured in a factory built to LEED Silver sustainable building guidelines on equipment powered by 100% wind-generated electrical energy and are printed using an Expanded Color Gamut Process to reduce ink consumption and waste.
Deterra 1.0 Containers are comprised of 25% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) material.
To help educate users on the importance of proper drug disposal for the environment and how to use the Deterra Drug Deactivation System, we offer free educational materials for consumers and dispensers. See resources.
