Lower CO2-emissions are the goal. This affects all sectors - including the pharmaceutical industry. With its Sustainable Packaging Service, Faller Packaging offers a concept to support customers in switching to sustainable secondary packaging and thus reduce CO2-footprint of packaging significantly.
Faller Packaging, the specialist for folding cartons, labels and leaflets for the pharmaceutical industry, is supporting its customers with the new Sustainable Packaging Service, use recyclable packaging and thus pave the way for a closed-loop system.
The packaging experts support their customers from the initial idea to the finished product and accompany the entire development process. Together analyse the individual requirements for the properties of the secondary packaging and advise the users. The holistic approach ultimately results in a future-proof, sustainable solution.
In order to achieve the sustainability targets Faller Packaging on the 3R principles: Redesign - Reduce - Recycle. The company is constantly putting established processes to the test. How can materials be replaced with more sustainable materials? How can production be optimised to reduce the use of energy and raw materials? And how can packaging be recycled efficiently?
Faller uses recyclable materials such as cardboard and paper for its folding boxes, inlays and leaflets. The company has also developed solutions for the labels that dispense with the usual film lamination and are 100 per cent recyclable. The declared goal is a climate-neutral value chain.
All packaging materials are guaranteed to be machine-compatible and run smoothly during the packaging process. This means that faulty batches can be avoided. Together with plant manufacturers, the packaging specialist integrates the products into the machinery of the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical manufacturers can therefore concentrate on their core business and leave the sustainability of the packaging solution to the experts.
Sustainability always includes the optimal use of materials. The aim is to use as few raw materials as possible and to avoid cavities, for example. The company is therefore constantly working on new solutions and designs. It is also essential that the materials are easy to recycle. The inlays are therefore made of cardboard or injection-moulded paper and are therefore easier to recycle than their plastic counterparts.
When packaging sensitive biopharmaceuticals, the highest quality, safety and product protection are essential. These requirements can also be realised as sustainable solutions. Faller Packaging uses certified inks and varnishes for printing. Paper and cardboard come from responsibly managed forests. Packaging is made from just one material - making it easy to close the recycling loop.
The company relies on a digital supply chain (DSC) that makes sustainable deliveries possible: Data-based forecasts and supply chain planning minimise the number of transports and prevent the destruction of surplus goods.
