ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PACKAGING

*Check with your local recycling center.
Moreover, all our packaging suppliers are certified to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative®, assuring you that our paper sources are sustainable, legal, and responsible. As an independent, non-profit organization, the SFI promotes sustainable forest management across North America and responsible procurement worldwide.
We're also excited to announce our upcoming partnership with How2Recycle®, a standardized system offering clear recycling instructions to consumers.
RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING
Cortizone-10 products are made and packaged at our Chattanooga, TN site. Since July 2023, this site is a ZERO LANDFILL facility, recycling 96% of its waste and converting the remaining 4% into energy through incineration. In line with our commitment to a greener future, we use 100% renewable energy for electricity, reflected by our purchase of Renewable Energy Credits.
* Based on internal data by Opella Healthcare Group manufacturing sites on percentage of discards sent to landfill. Excludes high-temperature incineration and compliant disposal of non-incinerable waste.
