In this eBook, Bruno Morchain explores how life cycle assessment (LCA), sustainable manufacturing initiatives, and eco-design strategies can help identify opportunities to reduce the carbon footprint associated with elastomeric closure components. Learn about key emissions drivers, material innovation opportunities, and Aptar Pharma's approach to supporting sustainability objectives.
As pressure on pharmaceutical manufacturers to reduce supply chain emissions grows, understanding the environmental impact of primary packaging components has become increasingly important. Bruno Morchain, in this eBook, explores how a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach can help identify key sources of emissions across parenteral elastomeric closures, including stoppers, plungers, tip caps, and rigid needle shields.
Drawing on Aptar Pharma's sustainability initiatives, manufacturing experience, and eco-design approaches, the eBook examines opportunities to help reduce the carbon footprint associated with injectable packaging. It highlights the role of material selection, lifecycle thinking, and innovation in helping pharmaceutical partners advance their sustainability objectives while considering the functional and regulatory requirements of parenteral applications.
