Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly turning to sustainable packaging materials to reduce their carbon footprint, driven by #regulatory requirements and environmental goals. As a major packaging supplier to the pharma industry, we are also embracing #sustainable practices such as using paper-based laminates and aluminium blisters, as alternatives to plastic packaging. Our aim is to decrease fossil fuel consumption in polymer production and minimize plastic use through improved processes. Sunil K.

I just read pages from the 2024 PlastChem report, "State-of-the-science on plastic chemicals" link below. #Chemicals are essential to #plastic production but also pose significant environmental and health risks, as outlined in the report. The research identifies over 16,000 chemicals in plastics, with less than 6% currently regulated globally. 🌍 Worryingly, nearly 4,000 chemicals have production volumes exceeding 1,000 tons per year, highlighting a substantial gap in global regulation. With 1300 known chemicals of concern marketed for use in plastics, and 29–66% of chemicals found in well-studied plastic types being worrisome, the need for action is evident. Hence, innovation and regulatory measures is crucial for transitioning towards a non-toxic future. 💡 We confirm our commitment at SATOORNIK to collaborate with governments and companies to address the threat of microplastics, demonstrating our dedication to sustainability and proactive solutions. #PlastChemReport #PlasticChemicals #Sustainability #Regulation #Microplastics #SATOORNIK Link to the report: https://lnkd.in/eh24TAKr

The bioplastics market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 17% through 2027, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics. #Bioplastics #SustainableTech #MarketGrowth #Innovation #EnvironmentalImpact #FutureOfMaterials #BusinessStrategy #EcoFriendly #TechTrends #SustainableMaterials

SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BOTTLE NIGHTMARE! The emerging reports about the potential dangers posed to the planet and humans from single-use plastic bottles just get worse. First it has been microplastics and chemicals, now new evidence is emerging about the presence of nanoplastics in bottled water. It's time surely to ditch throwaway plastic bottles once and for all and use the alternatives. Like water purification systems from Bluewater that sit snugly under a sink while removing practically all known contaminants from drinking water, including microplastics, chemicals, pharmaceutical residues and the likes of lead. #adrinkthatmatters #cleanwater #saferhydration #water https://lnkd.in/eX6fTHFW https://lnkd.in/eX6fTHFW

How recyclable is your healthcare and pharma packaging? Sometimes, for diagnostics or drug delivery devices recycling is not an option. But in healthcare packaging, millions of tons of plastic packaging could be recycled relatively easily, especially if it was made from a mono-material. Talk to our #sannergroup healthcare sales team to learn how to reach a recyclability of nearly 90% and at the same time reduce your carbon footprint by using Sanner BioBase®. Feel free to contact Daniel Johe, Jerome Wallach or Claire Russek. #sanner #sannergroup #sustainability

Industry news: "Biodegradable Spunbond Nonwovens" and Other Industry Standards to be Implemented on 1 July The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China has approved 1,276 industry standards, among which FZ/T64104-2023 "Biodegradable Spunbond Nonwovens" and three other nonwovens-related standards will be implemented on 1 July 2024. The standard applies to spunbonded nonwoven fabrics made of polylactic acid as raw material, melt spinning into a net and bonded by hot rolling, and other spunbonded nonwoven fabrics produced by biodegradable polymer raw materials can be used for reference. #tissue #nonwovens #hygieneproducts
