Individual parts, assemblies and packaging from P\u00f6ppelmann are used in the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries.

Companies that are subject to the various guidelines for \u201egood manufacturing practice\u201c (GMP) value the P\u00f6ppelmann FAMAC division of the Lohner P\u00f6ppelmann Group for its reliability in quality assurance, validation, hygiene management and documentation. P\u00f6ppelmann<\/a> FAMAC provides support in designing plastic products to conserve resources - and shows that this is also possible in the pharma-medical sector.<\/p>

Under the umbrella of the P\u00f6ppelmann blue initiative, the Group bundles all activities of the four divisions for more resource conservation and climate protection. Product development is based on the eco-design principle. This means that the The environmental impact of a product is analysed along its entire life cycle.<\/strong> kept as low as possible. Under the motto \u201eReduce, Reuse, Recycle\u201c, product concepts are created that reduce the amount of material and energy used in production without compromising the functionality of the product.<\/p>

Where possible, products for multiple use are sought, or those that fulfil the Closing the material cycle through complete recycling<\/strong>. For example, P\u00f6ppelmann FAMAC optimises the design of articles in order to reduce the amount of material used. Plastic from sprues flows back into the production processes. In many cases, products are made from more recyclable plastics or even from recycled materials. Post-consumer recyclates instead of virgin material<\/strong> manufactured. The plastics specialist also makes particularly successful use of the opportunity to save space and weight and thus conserve resources by optimising logistics, e.g. by optimising the nestability of items and adapting designs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Numerous examples from the P\u00f6ppelmann FAMAC portfolio demonstrate the successful implementation. For various customers from the pharmaceutical segment Functional, user-friendly packaging<\/strong> developed. Here, for example, a lot of material was saved by changing the product design and the overall weight of the item was reduced by around 20 per cent. In another practical example, P\u00f6ppelmann FAMAC created a mono-material solution made of PP for a three-part tablet dispenser whose components (container, slide and lid) were originally made of different plastics. The mono-PP tablet dispenser now simplifies recycling<\/strong>.<\/p>

In the case of the analysis test kit provider QIAGEN N.V., the plastics specialist developed reaction vessels from a Post-consumer recyclate (PCR), i.e. plastic waste from the yellow bag, for example.<\/strong> originate. The items, used for waste from analysis samples with biological material, are produced in large quantities for the customer. They now save a lot of virgin material and contribute to the fact that the client has reduced GHG emissions by an enormous 62 per cent compared to virgin material with its more environmentally friendly extraction kits.<\/p>
