Aptar introduces its first nasal spray pump with bio-based material
Aptar Pharma announced that its Freepod nasal spray pump is made with 52% ISCC Plus certified bio-based feedstock. This is the first Aptar delivery system using such materials to be commercialized globally.
Aptar’s Freepod nasal spray pump with 52% bio-based feedstock made for Haaleon’s Otrivin brand.
The bottle is produced using a mass balance approach equivalent to 100% bio-based content. Together, the pump and bottle components result in an overall circular material content of 60% for the full nasal spray device.
“The launch of Freepod Futurity reflects our commitment to developing solutions that respond to consumers’ increasing demand for more sustainable healthcare delivery technologies,” said Gael Touya, President of Aptar Pharma.
Bio-based resin with full traceability
The Freepod nasal spray components are made from bio-based resins derived from renewable feedstocks like bio-waste and residual oils, using an ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance approach.
The Aptar Pharma manufacturing site in Mezzovico, Switzerland, is ISCC PLUS certified, ensuring full traceability of materials throughout the manufacturing process and supply chain.
