As sustainability becomes a priority across industries, Bormioli Pharma stands out in the pharmaceutical sector with its EcoPositive product range—one of the most comprehensive low-impact solutions available. EcoPositive encompasses over 3,000 items of eco-conscious packaging, showing both environmental advancements and high performance.
With a global presence in over 100 countries, Bormioli Pharma is a key partner in the pharmaceutical industry, producing high-quality packaging and medical devices from its nine European plants. The company supports the industry’s transition toward sustainability with solutions in both glass and plastic packaging, from recycled materials to bio-based and reusable options.
With an impressive 304% growth in low-impact plastic container volumes since 2021, Bormioli is on track to meet its ambitious “50-in-5” goal, aiming to achieve 50% sustainable materials in its products by 2025—a milestone already nearing 47% in early 2024.
- Regenerate – Packaging from recycled glass and plastics, like rPET and rHDPE.
- Renew – Bioplastics from renewable resources, including Bio PET 2.0.
- Reloop – Infinitely reusable packaging materials, such as Carbon Capture PET.
Recent studies confirm the high safety and minimal environmental impact of these solutions. For instance, advanced rHDPE bottles show a 28% reduction in migrating compounds compared to conventional virgin HDPE. Moreover, independent testing on 100% recycled Loop™ PET demonstrated zero extractables with toxicological relevance, outperforming even virgin PET by approximately 90%.
Bormioli’s consultative approach to innovation complements its EcoPositive portfolio, supporting pharmaceutical manufacturers with data-backed, sustainable packaging options and specialized consultancy services. Alongside containers and closures, Bormioli has expanded EcoPositive to include accessories, with products like rPS spoons made from recycled yogurt pots. Additionally, they’re implementing a circular model with partners to reuse Blow-Fill-Seal production waste, a first in the industry for single-dose vials.
With a longstanding commitment to sustainable development, Bormioli Pharma exemplifies how the company’s dedication to innovation, environmental responsibility, and quality is reshaping pharmaceutical packaging.
