PERPETUA: Constantia Flexibles’ recyclable packaging solution for pharmaceuticals
It is the company’s first recyclable polymeric mono-material, has a wide range of uses in pharma packaging applications and is now available worldwide. Perpetua offers excellent product protection from oxygen, water vapor and light.
Constantia Flexibles has been awarded a position on the 2020 Supplier Engagement Leaderboard by CDP.
High
protection levels against moisture, oxygen and heat are important for
protecting active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), to provide the patient
with an effective medication. Constantia Flexibles’ goal was to meet the very
high barrier properties for pharma products, while implementing the best
possible sustainability standards. The result is Perpetua, a recyclable product
family, based on a unique line of full PP (Polypropylene) high barrier
laminates. The flexible packaging solution is available in application-tailored
versions. Being cyclos-HTP* certified, its recyclability ranges from 90% to
96%, depending on the individual material specification.
The
high barrier properties and lower environmental footprint do not limit the
design possibilities of the packaging.
Pierre-Henri
Bruchon, EVP Pharma Division Constantia Flexibles: “Our mission is to
constantly rethink packaging to make a meaningful contribution to our customers
and the environment. Sustainability plays a decisive role in all our business
activities. Therefore, the development of a more sustainable but at the
same time high-barrier solution for pharma products like Perpetua was of high
importance to us. It is the perfect packaging solution for pharma products.”
* The Institute cyclos-HTP is a German institute which has
designed a catalogue for requirements and for assessing
and certifying the recyclability of packaging and goods. Institute cyclos-HTP
certifies the recyclability for PERPETUA family products.
