[QUOTE="Owenn01, post: 2605349, member: 487412"] Glass syringes wear and then provide very inconsistent injection volumes so no; we do not want to go back there (I can recall using these when diagnosed in 1975 and thought even then there has to be a better way!). A lot of the plastics are now increasingly becoming environmentally friendly - they will biodegrade in a much shorter time than was previously the case. What alarms me if I'm honest is the waste in tablet packaging that goes on - pack sizes for the same drug but from different manufacturers can be startlingly different, with 'blister packs' sometimes containing one weeks supply the size of a playing card, then from an alternative you get 28 tablets on half the size blister. Now - [I]that's[/I] not environmentally friendly! [/QUOTE]
