TekniPlex Healthcare introduces the world‪s first fully transparent recyclable mid-barrier blister package

January 3, 2023 – Manufacturing and Packing –

TekniPlex Healthcare recently introduced the worldís first fully transparent recyclable mid-barrier blister package, which it will showcase at Pharmapack Paris Booth B96-98. Notably, the solution provides barrier against moisture – a benefit the vast majority of sustainable blister solutions have lacked.

Recyclable in geographies where the #5 (polypropylene) recycling stream is available, the mid-barrier blisters feature a polyolefin blister film paired with a barrier PP lidding film. This marks the first time a formed blister + lidding combination is certified as recyclable- a significant milestone in the evolving push to make healthcare packaging more sustainable. From a manufacturing standpoint, initial machinability analyses have been positive, with large-scale tests scheduled for the near future.

In addition to debuting the mid-range barrier version at Pack Expo, TekniPlex Healthcare also will premiere a fully recyclable polyester mono-material blister + lidding combination, suitable for products that do not require barrier protection.
