A postcard with the message: "Der Umwelt zuliebe: Hausmüll* statt Glascontainer." The image shows several brown glass bottles and medication containers with droppers and syringes. A footnote indicates "*oder Recyclinghof/Schadstoffmobil."
Liquid pharmaceutical leftovers are more often disposed of incorrectly in waste water than solid ones. For this reason, a German-language postcard in DIN A6 (10 x 15 cm) has been developed on this topic, which can be given to customers when liquid medicines are handed in at the pharmacy.
