Amcor develops new recyclable PE-based packaging for healthcare products

Source：Adsale Plastics Network Date ：2021-05-12 Editor ：JK

Amcor has announced customer trials of the world’s first recyclable Polyethylene-based thermoform blister packaging. This innovation benefits from up to 70% reduction in its carbon footprint, when compared to packaging alternatives on the market today.

 

The new packaging is designed to meet the stringent requirements of highly specialized and regulated pharmaceutical packaging and creates a more sustainable alternative for the in-demand healthcare packaging type.

 

AmSky eliminates PVC (PolyVinyl Chloride) from the packaging by using a Polyethylene (PE) thermoform blister and lidding film. PVC can make packaging recycling more difficult or contaminate other materials if consumers attempt to recycle it.

New AmSky blister system has the potential to transform the sustainability of healthcare packaging.


By removing PVC – whilst retaining all the benefits of pre-existing blister packaging – Amcor has created a new, recyclable solution that benefits the entire recycling process.

 

Amcor is currently working with several leading pharmaceutical companies to bring AmSky to market globally. The company expects AmSky to be available in the healthcare market by the second half of 2022.

 

Peter Konieczny, Amcor’s Chief Commercial Officer, said, “With AmSky, Amcor has signalled our commitment to breakthrough innovation in the healthcare space. This new blister packaging solution will significantly enhance the ability of healthcare and pharmaceutical brands to put sustainability at the heart of their businesses.”

 

William Jackson, Amcor’s Chief Technology Officer for Flexibles, commented, “This exciting solution is a result of Amcor’s continued focus on advanced technology and growth, using the entire power of our global R&D network to bring recyclable solutions to our customers.”
