Has your breastfeeding journey with your child come to a close? Medela is committed to providing moms with an exceptional experience from start to finish during their breastfeeding journey, and thanks to a group of passionate and thoughtful moms like you, we were inspired to create Medela Recycles, a breast pump recycling program. Is designed to collect breast pumps that will no longer be used and recycle them. How did Medela Recycles begin? Jane Davaransky, a mother of two babies taken to the NICU after birth, wanted to make a difference.

She started a to urge Medela to create an environmentally responsible solution to breast pump disposal. We didn’t just want to meet the request in Jane’s petition, but we wanted to make a change that goes above and beyond – which is why we took it one step further and incorporated hospital-grade and breastfeeding supply donations to the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). Not only are we committed to reducing solid waste and helping protect the environment, but we’re also dedicated to providing much needed support to families with babies in the NICU. We are so thankful to for helping us implement such a fundamental and essential change. How does Medela Recycles work? Medela collects and sends all eligible donated Medela-brand electric breast pumps to a third-party processing center where they are broken down and all recyclable parts are recycled appropriately.

Medela does not reuse donated parts for recycling for any manufacturing purposes or refurbish used. For the Medela Recycles program, Medela is asking moms to turn in their used pumps so we can responsibly break down and recycle them. What parts of the breast pumps are collected to be recycled? Please send only your breast pump motor unit and carrying bag or motor housing. All other kit components – including connectors, breast shields, tubing, bottles, valves, membranes and cooling elements – can be disposed of in your waste management recycling container at your home. Cooler bags and other soft-goods items are not recyclable.

What types of breast pumps are eligible? Only Medela electric breast pumps are eligible for the Medela Recycles program. Pink Panther. Your pump’s age or condition doesn’t matter. Manual breast pumps, such as the Medela Harmony breast pump, cannot be returned through this program. This product can be recycled in your waste management recycling container at home.

If you wish to recycle another breast pump brand, please contact the manufacturer for more information on their disposal options. Who pays for shipping? Medela does not cover shipping costs through Medela Recycles. You can choose whichever shipping method works best for you. How do I get a shipping label?

Medela does not provide a shipping label for recycling breast pumps. A return label is provided to identify the required tracking number and shipping address. You are able to ship directly through the mail service provider of your choice to complete the recycling process. What is the return label? Once you complete the recycling process, a return label will immediately display on your screen. This return label provides a unique tracking number and the shipping address. You will need to adhere this return label to your shipping box. You have two options to do this. • Print immediately – Be sure you have connection to a printer.
