Aimovig^® Sharps Bin Service

This green returns Programme has been developed to provide a sharps bin delivery and collection service to people who have been prescribed Aimovig^®. This programme ensures that sharps bins are handled in the most sustainable way possible. These sharps bins are sterilised and reused, reducing carbon, plastic, and water waste. For every 1,000 bins reused, this is the equivalent of 15.3 TONNES of carbon saved from going into the atmosphere. That’s the equivalent of 56,677 car miles or (90,000) kilometres travelled!.

The service is provided to patients free of charge by HealthBeacon on behalf of Novartis, the manufacturers of Aimovig^®. You can refer your Aimovig® patients to the attached leaflet for more details. If they would like to join the Aimovig^® sharps bin programme you can call HealthBeacon on 01-2118371 and a HealthBeacon customer service representative will provide further details of the service and obtain verbal consent from your patients that wish to register for the service.
