Expansion follows successful multi-year pilots in Massachusetts and California, and longstanding Pod takeback programs in Europe, Canada, and Australia
ACTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD) (“Insulet” or the “Company”), the global leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its Omnipod brand of products, has announced the expansion of its U.S. Pod recycling program, which is now available to all U.S. customers.
“Here at Insulet, our mission is to transform the lives of people with diabetes, and we are equally committed to creating a more sustainable future,” said Carolyn Sleeth, Senior Vice President and U.S. General Manager. “We are proud of the success achieved through our Massachusetts and California Pod recycling pilot programs, which began in 2022 and 2024, and we are excited to now offer Pod recycling to all U.S. customers, reducing waste and minimizing our environmental impact.”
The Pod recycling program is offered at no cost to customers, who can request a Pod recycling kit online to return their used Pods. The returned Pods are decontaminated and then transported to a company specializing in recycling for electronics and medical products, ultimately minimizing landfill waste and advancing Insulet’s commitment to circular solutions.
“Reducing waste is a key priority for our Company, and I’m thrilled that our program is now available nationwide,” said Lisa Brady, Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer. “We’ve made it easy for customers to help advance this objective of our Sustainability program and look forward to diverting millions more Pods from U.S. landfills.”
In the U.S., customers can seamlessly request a Pod recycling kit by completing an online request form. Outside of the U.S., Insulet has longstanding Pod takeback programs in many international markets where customers can request a Pod takeback kit by contacting their local Insulet Customer Support team.
