Packaging in the pharmaceutical industry
The pharmaceutical industry must meet high standards for its packaging to ensure product protection, accuracy and safety. However, companies also need to consider sustainability. The paper discusses the various aspects of sustainability relevant to the pharmaceutical industry and presents the introduction of blister packaging made from monomaterials as an environmentally friendly alternative. This packaging is not only environmentally friendly, but also transparent and has excellent barriers to ensure the quality of the products.

The packaging law
The Packaging Act in Germany is an important instrument for increasing the recyclability and recycling rate of packaging and for reducing the amount of waste. Since 01.01.2022, manufacturers of shipping packaging, sales packaging, secondary packaging and reusable packaging must also be registered. The plastic bag ban was extended and the single-use deposit obligations were expanded. Compliance with the take-back and recovery obligations must now be documented in an auditable form.

The conservative packaging world and its sustainable future
The world of packaging has evolved beyond just protecting products. Sustainability is now a key factor, but not all packaging labeled as "eco-friendly" or "natural" actually deliver. Recycling is critical, but unfortunately, sorting technology remains a significant hurdle. Designing packaging that supports sorting quality through "Design for Recycling" principles is critical. In this blog post, we delve into the world of sustainable packaging, exploring recycling, reduction, reuse, and the future of packaging in a sustainable world.

Plastics and their recycling properties
This blog post highlights the importance of recycling plastics and their types that can be recycled. Sorting, cleaning, and melting them require little energy, and they can be recycled many times without losing their properties. However, plastics should be separated according to their types, which requires proper washing and sorting, and they cannot be mixed with each other. Governments and companies should invest in recycling infrastructure and educate people on proper waste management. Although recycled plastics are still more expensive than new ones, customers must learn to choose recycled packaging over new plastics. To improve recyclability, packaging must be designed for easy separation and recycling.
