[Automatic translation follows] For the health of nature
SIGRE Medicine and Environment is the Integrated Management System of the pharmaceutical sector. Its objective is to collect the packaging and remains of medicines generated in private homes, through the SIGRE Point of the pharmacy, and offer them an appropriate environmental treatment.
SIGRE was created as an initiative of pharmaceutical laboratories, which was later joined by pharmacists and distribution, to prevent packaging and remains of medicines from being thrown into the trash or down the drain, with the possible environmental damage that this action may entail; but also to raise awareness among citizens about the importance of making responsible use of medicines, promoting health habits such as the periodic review of the medicine cabinet.
In this way, two benefits are derived from SIGRE's activity: environmental, which promotes the care of our environment, and health, which prevents inappropriate self-medication and the possible risks produced by the consumption of expired or spoiled medicines.
SIGRE is a non-profit organization, and its funding is provided by pharmaceutical laboratories, who pay a fee for each container that is put on sale in the pharmacy.

Por la salud de la naturaleza
SIGRE Medicamento y Medio Ambiente es el Sistema Integrado de Gestión del sector farmacéutico. Su objetivo es recoger los envases y los restos de medicamentos que se generan en los domicilios particulares, a través del Punto SIGRE de la farmacia, y ofrecerles un tratamiento medioambiental adecuado.
SIGRE surge como iniciativa de los laboratorios farmacéuticos, a la que se unieron posteriormente los farmacéuticos y la distribución, para evitar que los envases y los restos de medicamentos se tiren a la basura o por el desagüe, con el posible perjuicio medioambiental que esta acción pueda suponer; pero también para sensibilizar a los ciudadanos sobre la importancia de hacer un uso responsable de los medicamentos, fomentando hábitos sanitarios como la revisión periódica del botiquín.
De esta manera, de la actividad de SIGRE se derivan dos beneficios: medioambientales, que favorecen el cuidado de nuestro entorno, y sanitarios, que evitan la automedicación inadecuada y los posibles riesgos producidos por el consumo de medicamentos caducados o en mal estado.
SIGRE es una entidad sin ánimo de lucro, y su financiación es aportada por los laboratorios farmacéuticos, quienes pagan una cuota por cada envase que se pone a la venta en la oficina de farmacia.
