In this article you can read about how this is achieved, which regulatory requirements to consider and what two industry experts say about the future of pharmaceutical packaging.
In this article, we look at how to generate value streams from hospital waste and recycle it into the production of new medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging. In short: how the circular economy succeeds in healthcare.
Plastics have been an essential part of medical technology for decades. In order to secure medical care for mankind, the material must therefore be handled in a sustainable manner. One option: Recycling! But can recyclates be used in medical technology?
Which plastics can be safely used in medical technology to manufacture medical and pharmaceutical products or packaging? This and the term “Medical Grade Plastics” are explained in this short article.
A sterile barrier packaging made of plastic ensures that medical devices such as needles or surgical instruments remain germ-free for a long time. Only in this way can they be used safely. What sterility is, why we need it and whether bioplastics are suitable as a sterile barrier is summarized in this article by BIOVOX expert Maria Heckel.
Organic? Great! But what does this look like in medical technology? Are bioplastics suitable for use in medical technology? We will consider this in this article!
EU Green Deal, UN Sustainable Development Goals, Taxonomy and more – what changes are coming for manufacturers of plastic products in the near future? And how can you turn the change into an opportunity for business?
