Towards Carbon Neutral Glass Pharma Packaging

The production of glass tubing and its transformation into glass primary container presents several challenges and opportunities when it comes to sustainability. To address the environmental impact of these processes, a comprehensive approach must be adopted, starting from raw material sourcing, and extending to the end-of-life phase of the glass containers. Here is an overview of Nipro´ sustainability initiatives and solutions from the glass tubing stage to the final glass primary container:

• Saving resources from glass tubing production, container forming and RTU processes,

• Maximizing RTU packaging scheme,

• Integration of traceability at container level to enable waste reduction of only single unit instead of a total batch.
