𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮. 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲. 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗲-𝘁𝗼-𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲. elmplastic is the first in pharma to run bioplastic on a primary packaging line. And the first to launch a bioplastic pharmaceutical pipette last year. Here’s what it takes to get from granulate to a certified primary pack, step by step. 𝟭) 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 & 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗿 Plants bind CO₂ while growing. That carbon becomes bio feedstock → methanol → ethylene → propylene → bio-based polymers → 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗘𝗰𝗼 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰. Free from PFAS, BPA and phthalates. Up to 𝟴𝟱% 𝗖𝗢₂𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 already at this step. 𝟮) 𝗘𝗰𝗼-𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 & 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 Bioplastics exhibit different flow characteristics, which can enable a reduction in wall thickness and consequently lower material consumption. Because of its lower melting point, the injection molding machine requires less energy. 𝟯) 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 Switching from hydraulic to fully electric machines cut emissions in our machine park by >𝟵𝟬%. 𝟰) 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝘆 If needed, assembly happens in an 𝗜𝗦𝗢 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝟴 / 𝗚𝗠𝗣 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗗 cleanroom. 𝟱) 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 (optional by design) - PE bags with post-industrial recyclate - cartons made from recycled paper (fully recyclable) - paper tape with rubber-based adhesive - Net Zero truck transport within Europe (certified, 100% emission-free logistics) Choose what fits: product, packaging, transport, or the full NetZero package. 𝟲) 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 (3-part bioplastic pipette): Cradle-to-gate: 𝟮.𝟱 → −𝟬.𝟮𝟳 𝗸𝗴 𝗖𝗢₂𝗲/𝗸𝗴 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 (negative footprint at procurement) Cradle-to-grave (incl. incineration): 𝟱.𝟱 → 𝟮.𝟮𝟯 𝗸𝗴 𝗖𝗢₂𝗲/𝗸𝗴 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 (less than half of conventional plastic) elmplastic is currently the 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿 of bioplastic medical-grade primary packaging products. And the pipette was just the start: wherever specs and dossiers allow, bioplastic can be used. And because real-world supply chains need options, elmplastic continues to offer our 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹, 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹-𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 whenever they’re the best fit, with the same uncompromising focus on quality and compliance Are you intrested to switch or produce your products with bioplastic?
