Packaging at a glance

What is happening in the industry

Voluntary Sustainability & Data

Pharmaceutical packaging is often exempt from environmental legislation, including parts of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, yet companies are voluntarily exploring more recyclable alternatives in anticipation of rising Extended Producer Responsibility fees, carbon pricing and increased regulatory scrutiny, as policymakers view pharma as financially capable of absorbing future environmental costs.

Complexity & Data-Driven Change

Pharma packaging is technically complex, combining materials such as PVC, PVDC, PCTFE, polyethylene and aluminium, with patient safety and product stability as the top priority; any change can take years and must be supported by robust lifecycle data proving real benefits in carbon, water and waste — particularly as APIs typically account for the largest share of environmental impact.

Long-Term Adoption Cycles

The move toward sustainability is partially driven by a marketing opportunity, particularly for Over-The-Counter (OTC) medicines, allowing for differentiation from generics. Industry leaders view innovation in new, sustainable materials as a necessity to maintain long-term financial stability and avoid becoming obsolete in a market increasingly pressured by shareholder demand and carbon-neutral commitments.

 Gemini said Product Comparison Histogram A stacked bar chart from the Pilario platform comparing the Climate Change impact of two items: "Demo product - 1" and "Demo product - 1...". The visualization uses color-coded segments to show the proportional impact of life cycle stages, including Composition (teal), Supply transport (dark blue), Manufacturing (red), Distribution (yellow), and End-of-life (purple). This histogram view allows for a quick visual assessment of which product has a higher total carbon footprint and which specific stages contribute most to that total.
