Innovation in pharmacy

Plastic is an inexpensive, malleable, lightweight and rigid material that is the preferred option for prescription packaging and must meet stringent safety standards and requirements. Packaging must be limited to a single use in order to prevent contamination of drugs given to patients making pharmacies and other drug prescribers large generators of plastic pollution.

Regardless of society’s growing desire to wage war on plastics, the material will remain widely used in the field of pharmacy for the foreseeable future given the numerous advantages. Even though, pharmacies can drastically reduce waste despite the need for single-use and low-cost packaging, by adopting eco-friendly packaging alternatives.

Traditional pharmaceutical packaging has had minimal innovation in the past 50 years. With archaic production processes, distribution and end-of-life management of prescription packaging, it’s not surprising that environmental impact was never considered whatsoever.

Revolutionizing the pharmacy sector

In 2009, EcoloPharm was born out of an idea to revolutionize the pharmacy packaging industry and providing packaging solutions that generate the lowest environmental footprint is at the heart of our mission.
