BIOPOQ distributes its biodegradable and recyclable medication packaging, in chains and banners of affiliated pharmacies.

Pharmacist-owners can obtain BIOPOQ products from their usual wholesaler.

If you are a patient and would like to try our products, please ask your pharmacy. We will gladly send them samples. However, it is not possible to send samples directly to patients.

If you are another healthcare professional (veterinarian, medical cannabis supplier, etc.) and would like to use our products for your patients, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The price of biodegradable BIOPOQ cellulosic containers is on average a little higher than that of plastic containers. The cost of the raw material justifies this discrepancy, as does the manufacturing process, which is much more complex than plastic injection. Finally, lower production rates also affect the cost of packaging. But isn't it paid little to reduce plastic pollution in the environment?

Of course, the cost of biodegradable and recyclable packaging is set to decrease over time thanks to our investments in automation and increased sales volume.

Rest assured, however, for patients, the price of drugs remains the same since their packaging is included in the operating costs of your pharmacy, as is delivery.

We opted for a clear polypropylene plastic cap so that patients could see the contents of their jar. At the same time, pharmacists can more easily check the prescription to ensure that it is the right drug, in accordance with their obligations. This limits the risk of errors.

The plastic cap also makes the ECO FIOL vial safer thanks to its PUSH-TURN opening mechanism, which otherwise would not be the case.

However, our ECO FIOL vials are made of 90% biodegradable cellulose and the polypropylene cap can be easily separated and recycled after use. This is a big improvement over 100% plastic vials.

All BIOPOQ products are made from food grade paper. This allows us to meet the hygiene and cleanliness standards required by retail pharmacies.

BIOPOQ products protect medications from light and moisture (under normal conditions of use).

Finally, ECO FIOL vials are more shock resistant than plastic vials that can shatter when dropped from a height onto a hard surface.

Medication containers are single-use for the duration dispensed and should not be reused due to the risk of cross-contamination. However, you can recycle your empty BIOPOQ containers at home, by throwing the paper part into the compost bin.

If you have any medications left over that you no longer need or that have expired, you can return them to your pharmacy, where they will be sure to destroy them safely.
