Monomaterial Blister Packaging for Pharmaceuticals
Sudpack Medica introduced Pharmaguard, a recyclable blister pack concept.
Swiss-based sterile packaging producer Sudpack Medica announced an all PP blister pack for pharmaceuticals.
The PP-based top and bottom webs are manufactured in a unique coextrusion process, which makes it possible to add oxygen and ultraviolet barriers.

The mono-material product is compatible with existing recycling material streams in many areas. A life cycle assessment conducted by Sphera software showed that the packaging concept is associated with a greatly reduced climate impact as well as lower energy and water consumption compared to other popular blister solutions.
Sudpack will demonstrate its performance live at Interpack, May 4-10 in Dusseldorf.
