B.C. veterinarian has plan to eliminate millions of pieces of plastic from Canadian clinics
An estimated 2.7 million plastic syringes and needles and several million prescription pill bottles could be saved every year in Canada if each of its veterinarian clinics took the same steps one B.C. vet technician has.
If the client needs a new type of medication, or if the pill bottle has any residue, Marsh soaks them in an antibacterial solution, removes their old labels and lets them air dry overnight. In exchange for returning their bottles, clients are given a dispensing discount. It also saves time and money, Marsh says, estimating the new process takes half as long as the original one.
On July 13, Marsh was announced as the second place winner of the Ocean Wise Innovator Lab for youth tackling plastic pollution. Herfor the project has nearly 2,000 followers and 33,ooo likes. Marsh uses the platform to spread awareness and bring more vets onboard.
