Blister packaging is a popular, efficient way to package pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. Worthy of consideration are ways to conscientiously manufacture and dispose of blister packs that minimize impact on the environment.

As the leading blister packaging machine manufacturer in the U.S., Pharmaworks can provide solutions and expertise in your blister packaging processes and your
associated sustainability efforts.

Some critical aspects of sustainability in blister packaging include:

1. Materials: Using recyclable and/or environmentally friendly materials when feasible.

2. Reduced Packaging: Design and creation of blister packaging with a concerted effort to minimize material use while still obtaining all the benefits of the blister package.

3. Recycling: When possible.

4. Environmentally Friendly Inks and Printing: Using environmentally friendly inks and printing processes to minimize environmental impact.

5. Energy Efficiency in Manufacturing: Auditing of manufacturing processes to ensure energy consumption is optimized and minimized.

6. Supply Chain Optimization: Optimization and minimization of carbon-emitting transportation of materials.

7. Regulatory Compliance: Using relevant environmental regulations as benchmarks/goals and working to exceed these standards when possible.

Sustainability in blister packaging is a topical concern, and manufacturing processes need to implement eco-friendly practices and procedures to reduce environmental impact. These efforts not only benefit the environment, but also lead to cost savings through less material used and more efficient manufacturing processes.
