“Shift Towards Sustainable Packaging Solutions”
- There's a growing emphasis on developing sustainable packaging materials, including biodegradable plastics and paper-based alternatives, to meet both environmental standards and functional requirements.
- The increasing awareness among consumers and healthcare providers about environmental sustainability is driving the demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions in the medical device sector.
- Leading companies like Amcor Plc have introduced products such as AmLite, an ultra-recyclable and high-barrier flexible packaging solution, aiming to reduce carbon footprints significantly.
- For instance, expanding its sustainable offerings, Amcor launched High Shield laminates—recycle-ready materials suitable for sachets, stickpacks, and strippacks. These laminates meet the stringent barrier requirements of pharmaceutical packaging while supporting recyclability initiatives across Europe.
- The focus on sustainability is contributing to the robust growth of the European medical device packaging market, with projections indicating significant expansion driven by eco-friendly practices.
