Loop Industries and Bormioli Pharma present a pharmaceutical packaging bottle manufactured with 100% recycled virgin quality Loop PET resin
Loop Industries, Inc., a clean technology company whose mission is to accelerate a circular plastics economy by manufacturing 100% recycled PET plastic and polyester fiber and Bormioli Pharma, an international leader in pharmaceutical packaging and medical devices, announced on January 24, 2024 that an innovative pharmaceutical packaging bottle manufactured with 100% recycled virgin quality Loop PET resin will be unveiled within the Bormioli booth at Pharmapack Europe 2024.
Bormioli Pharma and Loop Industries aim to introduce market-ready solutions for the global pharmaceutical industry and the two companies began to collaborate over a year ago in order to achieve this goal. Bormioli Pharma tested Loop PET resin in its packaging, commissioning to independent third parties’ additional analysis to verify extractables levels with different solutions, also taking in consideration the worst-case scenario. The results of these tests set a new benchmark for recycled plastic products within the pharmaceutical industry, as the bottles produced with Loop PET resin do not release any substance deemed of toxicological relevance.
Bormioli Pharma’s EcoPositive offering, gathering low-impact packaging solutions, currently constitutes 50% of their standard catalogue, contributing to position itself among the players with the broadest sustainable offerings on the international market.
In addition to the independent third-party testing commissioned by Bormioli Pharma, Loop PET resin was also tested by a worldwide leader in laboratory testing services and on December 13, 2023 Loop announced that test results confirmed its Loop PET resin meets the strict requirements and standards outlined by the European Pharmacopeia and the United States Pharmacopeia and is compliant for use in packaging applications in the pharmaceutical industry.
“Through this collaboration with Loop we’re strengthening our role as a solid, quality and reliable partner for the pharmaceutical industry” stated Andrea Lodetti, CEO of Bormioli Pharma. “Loop Industries shares our values and commitment, and together we made available a new pharma-grade sustainable solution, showing even greater safety standards than traditional ones.”
Daniel Solomita, Founder and CEO of Loop Industries, commented “Through our collaboration with Bormioli Pharma, we have developed an innovative pharmaceutical packaging solution manufactured from 100% recycled virgin quality Loop PET resin. This high-quality packaging alternative raises the bar for responsible solutions and helps set a new standard for sustainable packaging in the pharmaceutical industry.”
