Bayer and Papacks have entered into a strategic partnership to develop fibre-based packaging as an alternative packaging for consumer health products. Bayer wants to make the packaging for its self-care products recyclable or reusable by 2030.
The collaboration aims to develop biodegradable, pulp-based packaging made from responsible new fibres that use the moulded pulp technology of Papacks use. This technology uses materials from renewable sources and a plant-based coating.
„Reducing plastic consumption is one of the biggest challenges facing our industry, so we are proud to be working with Papacks to accelerate progress towards the use of environmentally friendly, renewable sources for our packaging. This collaboration is a strong step forward in our journey towards sustainable packaging.“
Jesse DelGigante, Director of Global Packaging Innovation for Bayer's Consumer Health Division
„We're looking forward to the challenge of developing our unique Combining cellulose technology with a plant-based coating to meet strict standards, required by the regulatory authorities for over-the-counter medicines,“ said Tahsin Dag, founder and CEO of Papacks.
„We expect this collaboration to help redefine packaging standards for the industry.“ As part of Bayers commitment to promoting sustainable packaging solutions, this collaboration with Papacks follows the recent announcement that the company has joined the Blister Pack Collective to reduce single-use plastics in healthcare packaging.
