"TekniPlex Healthcare, which utilizes advanced materials science expertise to help deliver better patient outcomes, recently launched the world's first fully transparent recyclable mid-barrier blister package.
Recyclable in geographies where the #5 (polypropylene) recycling stream is available, the mid-barrier blisters feature a polyolefin blister film paired with a barrier PP lidding film. This marks the first time a formed blister + lidding combination is certified as recyclable – a significant milestone in the evolving push to make healthcare packaging more sustainable. From a manufacturing standpoint, initial machinability analyses have been positive, with large-scale tests scheduled for the near future.
TekniPlex Healthcare also offers a fully recyclable polyester mono-material blister + lidding combination, suitable for products that do not require barrier protection."
