Nationwide Omnipod Recycling Program
Hello Friends!
The Omnipod Recycling Program is Going Nationwide! ♻️🌍
I have some absolutely fantastic news to share with you all today. If you’ve been listening to the podcast or following the T1D tech world for a while, you know that one of the biggest questions we always ask is: "But what do we do with all the plastic?"
Well, Insulet has heard us loud and clear. 🎉
As of today, the Omnipod Recycling Program has officially expanded nationwide across the U.S.! This is a huge step forward for our community and for the planet. We are talking about diverting millions of Pods from landfills and turning them into something new.
Why This is a Big Deal ✨
We all love the freedom of tubeless pumping, but looking at that pile of used Pods can sometimes feel a little heavy on the conscience. This expansion means that whether you are in Miami, Seattle, or anywhere in between, you now have a direct, free way to dispose of your Pods responsibly.
Insulet isn’t just tossing them in a different bin, either. They are partnering with specialized recyclers to decontaminate the Pods and reclaim the materials (like batteries and metals) to be reused. It’s a massive win for sustainability in the diabetes space.
How It Works (It’s Super Simple!) 👇
They have made the process incredibly easy for us. Here is the lowdown:
Request a Kit: Head over to the Omnipod website and request your free recycling kit.
Fill It Up: The kit comes with a prepaid shipping label and a box that holds up to 60 Pods. That is roughly 6 months of supplies!
Send It Back: Once your box is full, just seal it up and drop it off at FedEx or USPS. That’s it!
Let’s Do This Together 🤝
I am so excited to see a major player like Insulet taking responsibility and giving us the tools to be more eco-friendly. It’s one less thing to worry about and one more way we can take care of the world while we take care of ourselves.
So, go grab your kit, tell your dia-buddies, and let’s start filling those boxes!
