Passive packaging is coming of age. In a world where door-to-door delivery is transforming the consumer experience, more and more sectors are waking up to the possibilities of delivering temperature-controlled products in a simple, cost-effective, and reliable way.
As the world faces the challenges of global warming, new approaches to packaging also provide opportunities to reassess the impact of supply chains on the planet. However, while industries such as retail and food have been quick to adopt new forms of delivery, they do so without the strict regulations and restraints that often apply to the pharmaceutical sector.
As Managing Director of a company that has invested millions in R&D for passive packaging solutions, I am well aware of both the challenges and benefits they can bring to pharma customers, and, as a passionate believer in the properties of natural materials, I appreciate the particular challenges a more ecological packaging approach presents to this most scientific of sectors.
