Secondary packaging is gaining recognition as a pivotal element in advancing smart technologies and achieving sustainability goals within the pharmaceutical industry. Historically overshadowed by primary packaging, secondary packaging is now being acknowledged for its potential to support companies in meeting their environmental objectives.
As organizations set both short- and long-term sustainability targets, secondary packaging is emerging as a strategic avenue for progress. Experts in the field, including Peter Belden from Tjoapack, John Jansen of CurTec, and Brooke Marshall from Pyramid Pharma Services, emphasize that while primary packaging has traditionally dominated sustainability discussions due to its direct impact on product safety and regulatory compliance, secondary packaging offers a more agile pathway for innovation.
With fewer regulatory hurdles, secondary packaging can facilitate quicker adaptations and improvements in sustainability practices. This shift is not only practical but also essential for companies aiming to meet ambitious sustainability goals by 2030 and beyond. As the industry evolves, the role of secondary packaging in driving sustainable practices will likely become increasingly significant, influencing both operational efficiency and environmental impact.
