Delivering the Difference: Know-how and Cutting-Edge Technology

We interview the winners of the Pharmapack Europe Awards 2023, which were held at Pharmapack in Paris. The winners, chosen by a jury, each developed an innovative solution in the categories of Drug Delivery Innovation, Packaging Innovation, Sustainability Initiative, Eco-Design, and Patient-Centric Design. 

We at Körber believe the pharmaceutical industry will ultimately dispense of plastic packaging within a few years. Our Rondo Solutions are pioneering when it comes to sustainability. Today pharmaceutical packaging expects to be innovative, compact, safe, and environmentally friendly. That’s because opinions in this area also began to change some time ago. The aim is to dispense with plastic and replace it with biocompatible materials such as recyclable boxes, compostable sachets, and environmentally friendly tubes. Wood, bamboo, and fungi serve as raw materials. Körber has been a pioneer in the area of sustainable production chains for more than 40 years. We supply international pharmaceutical customers with packaging that is made solely of paper fibers that are also biodegradable. We not only think about ways in which we can manufacture packaging in as resource-conserving a manner as possible, but also how this packaging can best be disposed of or recycled. Another fact that speaks in favor of our sustainable solutions is that they can be produced by more than 90% of our packaging machines. Our commitment to environmental compatibility is also reflected in the numerous times that our innovative packaging solutions have received awards such as the Pro Carton ECMA Gold Award and the Pharmapack Award.
