13 Oct 2023 --- Global health companies Bayer and Haleon have taken a stride toward reducing plastic waste in pharmaceutical and consumer health packaging by joining the Blister Pack Collective. The initiative, led by PA Consulting and PulPac, aims to minimize the use of non-recyclable plastics in over-the-counter and prescription drug packaging, advancing the development of more environmentally sustainable Dry Molded Fiber blister packs. The technology is said to replace plastics like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and potentially remove over 100,000 metric tons of plastic used annually in medicine packaging.
