The Pharmies is Pharmacycle’s annual awards program to celebrate the people and organisations helping lead blister pack recycling across Australia. From pharmacies and councils, this is our chance to highlight the important work happening in communities every day.
The Pharmies recognises real-world impact. Whether it’s driving up collection numbers, engaging the public, or leading local sustainability efforts, the awards celebrate the actions that move the program forward.
This year’s awards include ten categories that reflect the many ways our partners contribute to the Pharmacycle mission.
