Sustainable Packaging: Options for the Consumer Healthcare Industry
As consumer healthcare organizations seek to achieve sustainability commitments to their consumers, shareholders and others, packaging is a crucial lever of influence. Forward thinking brands are facing regulatory, consumer, competitive, and public health pressure to reduce plastic waste as well.
Helping our clients to reduce plastic waste is a key way we are working to achieve and surpass net zero, including by leveraging our dry-molded fiber collectives, implementing compelling and effective alternatives to single-use plastic bottles and blister packs. Though most regulations today exempt medical packaging today, brands must expect and plan for a regulated future.
