Why Plastic Choice is Critical in Primary and Secondary Pharmaceutical Packaging
InsightsWhy Plastic Choice is Critical in Primary and Secondary Pharmaceutical Packaging

In the pharmaceutical industry, packaging is essential for safeguarding drug delivery and meeting increasing demand for self-administration, prefilled systems, and custom therapies. These factors are driving significant market growth, with the global pharma packaging market projected to rise 9.7% by 2030, reaching $265.7 billion. At the same time, stricter regulatory requirements, such as MDR 2017/745, and more stringent sustainability legislation are reshaping packaging strategies.

Why Recycling Plants are Closing and What Needs to Change
InsightsWhy Recycling Plants are Closing and What Needs to Change

Recycling is often presented as a straightforward solution to the plastic waste problem. In reality, the economics and infrastructure behind it are complex. In Europe, mechanical recycling plants are closing at an alarming rate. The reasons are clear and interconnected: high energy costs, volatile resin prices, and inconsistent policy enforcement.

Hybrid Metal Replacement: Combining Strength & Sustainability
Metal ReplacementHybrid Metal Replacement: Combining Strength & Sustainability

Not every component can—or should—be made entirely from plastic. In some cases, the solution is a hybrid design that uses metal where strength is essential and plastic to benefit from other properties. This approach delivers the best of both worlds: structural integrity, weight reduction, corrosion resistance, and cost efficiency.

Material Selection for Metal Replacement
Metal ReplacementMaterial Selection for Metal Replacement

Choosing the right polymer to replace metal isn’t about matching steel’s mechanical properties on paper. It’s about understanding what the product actually needs to do. Over-engineering a polymer choice can lead to unnecessary cost, complexity, and missed opportunities. Instead, the focus should be on aligning material capabilities with application demands: mechanical performance, chemical resistance, ergonomics, haptics, and sustainability.

Why Replace Metal with Plastic?
