Give Your Pens a Second Life with PenCycle
Every year, millions of empty pre-filled pens end up in UK landfills or incinerators — but they don’t have to.
With PenCycle, your used Wegovy® pens can be recycled into new, useful products instead of going to waste.
Why PenCycle Matters

Million
Novo Nordisk pre-filled devices were incinerated or sent to landfill in the UK in 2020 as there was no viable recycling alternative.
This is not sustainable.
