ACG launches recyclable polypropylene blister with dual barrier protection

ACG has launched RecycloPod PP Ultra, a polypropylene blister packaging system for pharmaceutical products that combines high moisture and oxygen barrier performance with design for recyclability. The product uses a PP/EVOH/PP forming structure and is aimed at manufacturers preparing for the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation and increased recyclability requirements.

Why this mattersA mono-material PP blister with full barrier protection could let pharma packers meet PPWR recyclability rules without sacrificing product protection, a longstanding trade-off in blister packs.

• RecycloPod PP Ultra uses a PP/EVOH/PP forming structure paired with a PP lidding film
• Water vapour transmission rate is below 0.60 g/m2 per day
• Oxygen transmission rate is below 0.20 cm3/m2 per day
• The launch introduces ACG's wider 'Pod' family of sustainable packaging solutions
• Development was carried out in collaboration with customers
• ACG cites the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation as a driver of the launch
