Plastic was once thought of being a miracle material with ‘a thousand uses’ and though it is still amazingly versatile, it is not seen beneath the halo it once was when it came into wide spread use in the 1950s. Attempts to increase awareness surrounding plastic pollution are being seen such as the #TheLastStraw campaign aiming to reduce the use of single use plastic straws. In 2015 the UK Government also instated a mandatory 5p plastic bag charge for businesses with over 250 employees, which has reduced bag sales by over 80%. However, it is still yet to be seen whether initiatives such as these are having a significant effect considering the global scale of the problem.

Damage to marine life, interfering with human hormone levels and clogging up landfills are but some of the negative effects of plastic overuse. Shocking amounts of plastic is produced year on year. In 2016, over 335 million metric tonnes of plastic was produced, with almost half being destined for single use. Packaging is the single biggest culprit, with over half of all plastic being thrown away coming from packaging.

Here at The Naked Pharmacy we are aiming to contribute as little as we can to this detrimental use of throw away plastic and as a consequence we are releasing a new product  - REFILL POUCHES! We are starting off by releasing refill pouches for Natruflex, our effective strength turmeric supplement. These biodegradable refill pouches will not only help to reduce your plastic footprint but they are cost-effective too! Click on the link below to purchase a refill pouch for yourself!
