Faller Packaging has published a whitepaper answering many questions asked by pharmaceutical manufacturers regarding recyclable packaging, including what material is best for making it sustainable, how often can it be reused and what savings can be achieved through its design.

According to Faller, companies in Europe are becoming increasingly aware of environmental protection and sustainability. This includes not only the products they manufacture, but also the packaging these products come in.
Moreover, the European Green Deal obligates all EU members to achieve the goal of climate neutrality by 2050. By 2030, all packaging from manufacturers must consist exclusively of recyclable material. These requirements are increasing the pressure on companies and have made sustainability an integral part of EU policymaking.
Faller says that the impact on the packaging industry is especially big as it must meet the requirements of consumers, pharmacists and medical professionals, but also protect the environment and conserve resources.
Faller Packaging recognizes its responsibility when it comes to sustainability. As a manufacturer of customized pharmaceutical and healthcare packaging, it offers highly reliable fiber-based secondary packaging made of recyclable cardboard and paper.
The challenges connected with environmentally friendly pharmaceutical packaging are described in Faller’s latest whitepaper ‘When packed, then sustainable: Fulfil tomorrow’s requirements with fiber-based pharmaceutical packaging'. The whitepaper explains the advantages of secondary packaging made of fiber-based materials and highlights specific solutions for achieving sustainability.
The experts at Faller Packaging also focused on this topic in a webinar series Sustainable Pharma Packaging that was held in September 2022. During these compact online events, the participants learned the details of various packaging projects, including selection of materials, resource-saving product design and supply chain optimization.
Sustainable packaging was also a key topic at the CPhI trade fair, which was held in Frankfurt, Germany in November. Faller Packaging and Rotzinger presented their jointly developed Eco Save Pack for fragile products and plastic-free packaging inlays, among other innovations.
‘After a rather slow start on account of the holidays in some German states, the trade fair quickly picked up speed,’ said Mathias Felber, vice president for business at Faller. ‘We were happy to encounter such a high degree of interest in our products and enjoyed the lively discussions that ensued.’
