ZURICH, April 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Amcor
(NYSE: AMCR; ASX: AMC), a global leader in developing and producing
responsible packaging solutions, today announced the addition of
new, more sustainable High Shield laminates to its pharmaceutical
packaging portfolio. The new low carbon, recycle-ready packaging
options deliver on two fronts, providing the high barrier and
performance requirements needed for the industry while supporting
pharmaceutical companies' recyclability agendas.
These new High Shield innovations include more sustainable
pharmaceutical sachet, stickpack and strippack packaging, providing
options in both paper-based and Polyolefin-based materials. The
innovative material structure enables recycle-readiness in line
with regional demands and supports the market differentiation
efforts of pharmaceutical companies. Additionally, it enables
manufacturers and packers to leverage existing filling machines,
with no required investments or efficiency losses.
"Amcor's addition of more sustainable High Shield Pharma
Laminates in its portfolio demonstrate our unwavering commitment to
innovation for the healthcare industry, as well as our promise to
the environment," said Virginie
Maes, vice president Healthcare for Amcor Flexibles EMEA.
"To Amcor, nothing is more important in our healthcare packaging
than delivering the safety and efficacy needed for medicine and
medical devices that millions of people rely on every
day."
Global sales of pharmaceutical products, which many of these
products rely on for their packaging, will reach $1.4 trillion by 2026, with the European market
expected to grow 5.4% through 20281. The more
sustainable High Shield Pharma Laminates options for pharmaceutical
sachet, stickpack and strippack packaging will first be introduced
throughout Europe to help meet
this growing demand and to address the sustainability requirements
established by the European Union and regional governments.
