Learn about the initiatives and solutions that are driving a shift toward more environmentally responsible packaging. Towards a responsible and efficient industry

 

Sustainability is a growing priority in the pharmaceutical industry, and packaging is leading this change. In a sector where safety and quality are paramount, finding a balance with environmental responsibility has become both a challenge and an opportunity.

 

The environmental impact of pharmaceutical packaging

 

Packaging accounts for a significant portion of industrial waste. According to the European Environment Agency, the transition to recyclable and biodegradable materials could reduce this waste by 30% by 2030. Companies like Amcor are leading the way with packaging that combines functionality and sustainability.

 

Innovations in design and materials

 

Among the most notable solutions are packaging made from biopolymers and recycled paper, as well as reusable packaging systems for high-cost medicines. These advances not only reduce environmental impact, but also comply with international regulations, such as those of the FDA and the EMA.
