Sustainability is no longer just an industry buzzword—it’s an essential business strategy in the 21st century. As regulatory pressures increase and consumer awareness grows, pharma companies must embrace packaging solutions that are both sustainable and compliant. To explore the science and value of sustainable packaging, Ashley Reynolds, Sales Director, Körber Pharma Packaging AG, took the stage.
He began by explaining how leaders in pharma packaging will win with sustainability through ecodesign, value through mono-material cartons and adherence through top-loading. The PCC 2021 urges the reduction of plastics due to high fossil fuel dependency, among other reasons and recommends renewable energy adoption in manufacturing.
Körber’s innovative and sustainable packaging solutions are environmentally friendly due to the raw materials used and the reduction in the use of materials.. The pack BOM material cost analysis findings indicate that Körber’s NeoTOP costs 58 per cent less than a regular blister pack. The packaging logistics cost analysis findings indicate that NeoTOP also provides a cost effective solution. Therefore, there are compelling advantages of sustainable packaging, as they significantly reduce carbon footprint.
