Pharmaceutical products place special demands on packaging and the materials used. Constantia Flexibles is now introducing the first recyclable mono-material based on polypropylene, which has a high chemical resistance to pharmaceutical products.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Perpetua Alta Combines \u201eDesign for Recycling\u201c guidelines with high chemical resistance<\/strong>. The monopolymer solution replaces the multi-material packaging that is often used for chemically aggressive products such as pharmaceutical liquid and gel formulations. This means that a wide range of pharmaceutical products can be packaged not only safely but also sustainably.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201eWith our Perpetua Alta innovation, we are highlighting the need for more sustainable packaging in the pharmaceutical industry. Our aim was to create a high-performance, recyclable solution. Although Perpetua Alta was developed for highly aggressive pharmaceutical products, it can also be used in other areas that require high chemical resistance, such as the food industry.\u201c<\/p>

In addition, the certification from the German institute cyclos-HTP that the innovation achieves a material recovery rate of up to 96 per cent.<\/strong> is possible. The final proportion depends on the respective material composition. Conventional packaging for pharmaceutical products is usually not recyclable due to the use of different materials.<\/p>

Alternatives, such as recyclable mono-polyethylene or mono-polypropylene laminates, can be reused but often do not offer the required chemical resistance for pharmaceutical products. Perpetua Alta is Resistant to hydroalcoholic gel - similar to multi-material laminates containing aluminium<\/strong>, which are considered to be particularly chemically resistant. Compared to conventional laminates, the new laminate offers product protection against oxygen, water vapour and light as well as a lower weight and higher efficiency.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Perpetua Alta is a Drop-in solution for existing packaging formats based on laminates<\/strong>, such as stick packs, sachets and strip packaging. As a rule, the machines do not need to be modified or even replaced - the existing production systems can continue to be used.<\/p>
