PA Consulting and PulPac have the Blister Pack Collective<\/a> to reduce the use of non-recyclable plastics in packaging for over-the-counter and prescription medicines through cross-industry collaboration. The project brings companies from the pharmaceutical, consumer health and FMCG sectors together<\/strong>, progress towards a world with more sustainable tablet packaging<\/strong>, that are free from problematic plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC).<\/p>

\u201eWhen a leading company like Haleon validates our technology, it is proof of the innovative strength of dry moulded fibre worldwide. When we join forces, we can move faster and tackle challenges together and effectively. When we founded PulPac, we set out to replace single-use plastics on a large scale by building an ecosystem of innovators around dry moulded fibre. We are delighted that this vision has become a reality and is being embraced by the industry.\u201c<\/p>

The two companies launched the initiative and developed the underlying technology for the blister packs after Haleon took the initiative. This created a Functioning dry moulded fibre tablet blister packaging <\/strong>developed. The introduction of dry moulded fibre tablet packaging could help to save 100,000 tonnes of plastic packaging for medicines every year.<\/p>

Dry moulded fibre technology minimises CO2<\/sub>-emissions - they leaves a 90 per cent lower CO2<\/sub>-footprint as wet moulded alternatives<\/strong> - and requires minimal water consumption. It enables the production of versatile tablet packaging that is comparable to PVC packaging in terms of design and number of tablets.<\/p>

\u201eWe are delighted to announce renowned global consumer health company Haleon as a founding partner of the Blister Pack Collective. Fibre-based blister packaging offers a versatile, tangible and scalable alternative for pharmaceutical and healthcare companies. It can effectively replace existing, widely used and environmentally damaging PVC packaging. By working with leading brand partners such as Haleon, we can accelerate development and have a significant and rapid impact on reducing plastic waste on a global scale.\u201c<\/p>
