National Pharmacy Goes Green with Packaging

Focus Express Mail Pharmacy, a leading Internet-based mail-order pharmacy specializing in diabetes care, is pleased to announce that its clients will now find their medical necessities protected by environmentally sound corn starch "popcorn" shipping filler. Unlike Styrofoam peanuts, the corn starch material dissolves in water or can be composted. This biodegradable material will decompose within just a few weeks.

"With increasing concerns about global climate change, we are eager to do our part to protect the environment for future generations. All companies need to think about sustainability and tread lightly on the Earth," said Joel Shpigel, R.Ph., CEO and Co-Founder of Focus Express Mail Pharmacy.

The new biodegradable packaging popcorn is made without plastic or polluting gases. It is FDA-approved, nontoxic and contains no ozone-depleting CFCs. "Focus Express Mail Pharmacy is proud to be part of the green revolution," said Shpigel. The company's green strategy is also slated to include recyclable paper filler.
