Verde Technologies: Drug Deactivation Pouches

Deterra Drug Deactivation System is launching new Plant-Based Pouches for medication deactivation and disposal. Using organic activated carbon, Deterra Pouches are meant to be a simple option for safely eliminating leftover medications to reduce drug abuse and negative environmental impact by keeping potent pharmaceuticals out of the watershed and landfills.

These Plant-Based Pouches:

• Use proprietary MAT₁₂ Molecular Adsorption Technology to deactivate leftover medications using activated carbon
• Are USDA Certified, 50% or more bio-based, and have earned the I’m green™ plastic certification,
• Are manufactured in a factory built to LEED® Silver sustainable building guidelines on equipment designed to be powered by 100% wind-generated electrical energy,
• Are printed using an expanded color gamut process to reduce ink consumption and waste production,
• Are created to contain a smaller percentage of plastic when disposed of,
• Are safe to place in the normal household trash after deactivation,
• And are meant to provide a convenient, immediate, and environmentally sound alternative to flushing.
