SÜDPACK MEDICA is a Gold Sponsor of the Pharma Sustainability Days

50 Top Speakers, 30 Exhibitors, and 250 Delegates meet from June 5 to 6 in Geneva. In the 44 informative sessions of the Pharma Sustainability Days as well as during networking, a central theme dominates: sustainability. Because environmental and climate protection, circular economy, and responsible handling of valuable resources have long been established in the pharmaceutical industry. SÜDPACK MEDICA also makes a strong statement – and supports the high-quality event as a Gold Sponsor.

To drive the transformation in the pharmaceutical industry from traditional blister packaging to more sustainable monoverpackaging, cross-company collaboration is necessary. In the session "Value Chain Collaborations in Pharma with PP Mono Materials for Blister Solutions," network partners present their perspectives from raw material, machinery manufacturer, and user viewpoints. This event takes place on the very first day, June 5, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Room 2. Because: "Sustainable concepts for reducing packaging waste are increasingly coming into focus in the chemical-pharmaceutical industry – as well as the development of a circular economy, which can only succeed through strong collaboration along the entire value chain."

Jürgen Bodenmüller, Director of Business Development, will also present a groundbreaking product development of SÜDPACK MEDICA at 10:40 a.m. in the session "Form-Seal-Protect-Comply: PharmaGuard®, the recycle-ready solution for OSD (Oral Solid Dosage)." The already multiple award-winning packaging concept for solid applications is based on the polymer polypropylene (PP) and is classified as a recyclable monol solution. It is characterized by its excellent transparency, stable thermoforming and shrink behavior, as well as a wide sealing window – and is easily processed on existing packaging machines.

Both SÜDPACK representatives are convinced that the Pharma Sustainability Days at the Congress Center Palexpo will also be an optimal platform for networking: "Participants want to exchange ideas and gather comprehensive information. We look forward to the opportunity to present our sustainable product developments and our expertise as one of the leading providers of sterile packaging solutions in Europe."

High-performance provider with a strong quality promise

To meet the increased demand for films and pouches that can be used at various points along the value chain in the pharmaceutical industry, SÜDPACK MEDICA has already invested heavily in pouch and 3-seal pouch machines in recent years. Currently, at the French site in Coulmer, the cleanroom production area is being doubled under ISO 7 conditions. Thomas Freis, Managing Director of SÜDPACK Medica: "Especially for transport or process packaging used for transporting cleanroom-to-cleanroom or up to the point of application, we see enormous market potential, as glass bottles, ampoules, or syringes used for administering liquid parenterals such as infusions must be absolutely sterile before filling."
