Medical Grade Bioplastics

for pharmaceutical applications

Blister

Bioplastics for pharmaceutical blister packaging allow you to create more sustainable product packaging without compromising on protection and quality. They meet all regulatory requirements while strengthening your environmental profile: A future-proof choice!

Film systems for blisters with a high barrier effect can be complex – contact us for your individual solution!

Cans & Bottles

Transparent or opaque cans, bottles, jars and their lids; with individually tailored barrier action. The same goes for MedEco bioplastics. You can choose between materials with high melt stability for blow moulding and extrusion blow moulding and thin injection moulding materials. This way, you won't have any problems with extracables or leachables, but always pack sustainably.

For cans & bottles we recommend the following MedEco types:

Drug Delivery Devices​

Precise components for reliable and sustainable autoinjectors and inhalers - that's what our rigid and high-strength MedEco bioplastics make possible. Also available in transparent, always with a nice feel, and most importantly: consistent properties and full change control. This is how the next generation of their drug delivery devices will be future-proof.

For Drug Delivery Devices we recommend the following MedEco types:

Drug Management

Sie brauchen transparente Bauteile mit höchster Dimensionsstabilität und Präzision,  oder weiche, transparente Schläuche? Sie wollen keine Probleme mit Extractables oder Leaching von Additiven? Und einen hervorragenden CO2-Fußabdruck? Kein Problem, unsere MedEco Kunststoffe sind wie gemacht für das Drug Management.

For drug management applications, we recommend the following MedEco types:

Advantages through technical properties

Bioplastics for pharmaceutical packaging?

In addition to sustainability, can bioplastics keep up with their fossil predecessors? A clear yes, because bioplastics sometimes have even better properties: MedEco XCD, for example, has a higher barrier effect against water vapor and oxygen than PET. Our materials often have higher mechanical strengths and lower processing temperatures, which save energy during manufacturing.

Sehr gute und auch kostengünstige Alternativen sind die Biokunststoffe PLA und mittelfristig auch PEF. Auf diese Polymere setzen wir bei unseren MedEco XCB, XYI und XCD. Sie sind nicht nur sehr gut zur Folienproduktion und für Blasverfahren geeignet, sondern bringen einen sehr niedrigen CO2-Fußabdruck, sehr gute mechanische Eigenschaften und eine sehr gute Recyclingfähigkeit mit. Sie sind hochtransparent und bringen sehr gute Barriereeigenschaften (PEF) mit bzw. lassen sich entsprechend beschichten oder in Verbundsystemen einsetzen (PLA). – Kunststoffexperte Dr.-Ing. Vinzenz Nienhaus

Benefits from sustainability aspects

Recyclable packaging is in demand!

As well as protecting their contents, sustainability is increasingly important. This is also true for pharmaceutical packaging, as the EU's Packaging Directive puts pressure on it. It also affects pharmaceutical packaging, calling for all packaging to be fully recyclable by 2030. An exception for primary packaging in direct contact with products will only apply until 2035. 

Unsere MedEco Biokunststoffe für Medizinprodukte & Pharma-Verpackungen sind für die Zukunft konzipiert: Sie sind aus erneuerbaren Ressourcen hergestellt, recyclingfähig, frei von PFAS und reduziert den CO2-Fußabdruck Ihrer Anwendung oder Verpackungen um bis zu 85%.
