Session 1: Trends in Environmentally Conscious Plastic Containers and Packaging for Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices, and Outlook for PTP Packaging

【Presentation Overview】

In recent years, following the pandemic, environmental and resource issues have gained global attention, particularly concerning plastics. Environmental initiatives in the packaging sector are increasingly affecting corporate competitiveness.

Additionally, as society ages, interactions with pharmaceuticals and medical devices are increasing, necessitating recycling and resource circulation efforts through routes different from general waste.

This seminar will introduce real-world examples from existing initiatives in pharmaceutical and medical device packaging, covering resource circulation systems including product design, domestic and international environmental regulations and trends, and environmentally favorable material developments, to illustrate corporate contributions to a sustainable circular society and prospects for new business opportunities.
