Dispensing Optics back on the presses

Dispensing Optics will return to print next month after a 12-month hiatus.

“As the Covid-19 pandemic gripped the globe last spring, it was decided to pause print production of the journal to enable ABDO to continue to offer members essential support,” said ABDO general secretary, Tony Garrett.

“We are now in a good position to reinstate the printed journal for UK members. We will continue to produce Dispensing Optics digitally and as a flip-through magazine, which has proved popular with many.”

Members who would like to continue to receive an online-only version of Dispensing Optics can amend their preferences here.

The journal will also land next month in recycled paper wrap.

“We switched to a compostable potato starch wrap in 2019, however, it’s become apparent that there remain issues with the breakdown of smaller particles,” said Dispensing Optics editor, Nicky Collinson.

“Our shift to recycled paper will improve the Association’s contribution to environmental sustainability, whilst supporting the zero-plastic movement.”
