Sustainable Materials and Packaging

A core goal is to transition to bio-based and more sustainable materials for lab equipment, complementing the shift to reusable options. For medical products, the focus is on innovating packaging by utilizing certified renewable and recycled materials, reducing overall packaging volume, and replacing paper inserts with digital alternatives like QR codes. Standardization of packaging and designing it for easy disassembly and recyclability across the supply chain are also key to reducing waste and promoting material circularity.

Adopt Sustainable Lab Supplies

Transition lab equipment and consumables to bio-based and recycled materials, prioritizing reusable designs.

• Develop low-cost bio-based or recycled material based consumables and equipments.

Innovate in Medical Packaging

Develop bio-based or recycled secondary packaging, reduce packaging volume, and replace paper inserts with digital solutions.

• Use alternative material for packaging (e.g., certified renewable and recycled materials).

• Reduce the amount of packaging required, optimize packaging size.

• Replace paper inserts with QR codes.

• Standardisation of packaging by collaboration between Pharma companies and big logistic players, fair collaboration.

• Biobased or alternative materials for secondary and tertiary packaging.

• Design packaging for recyclability (e.g., use less different materials).
