Loop Industries, Inc. announced that an innovative pharmaceutical packaging bottle manufactured with 100% recycled virgin quality Loop PET resin will be unveiled within the Bormioli booth at Pharmapack Europe 2024. Bormioli Pharma and Loop Industries aim to introduce market-ready solutions for the global pharmaceutical industry and the two companies began to collaborate over a year ago in order to achieve this goal. Bormioli Pharma tested Loop PET resin in its packaging, commissioning to independent third parties' additional analysis to verify extractables levels with different solutions, also taking in consideration the worst-case scenario.

The results of these tests set a new benchmark for recycled plastic products within the pharmaceutical industry, as the bottles produced with Loop PET resin do not release any substance deemed of toxicological relevance. Bormioli Pharma's EcoPositive offering, gathering low-impact packaging solutions, currently constitutes 50% of their standard catalogue, contributing to position itself among the players with the broadest sustainable offerings on the international market. In addition to the independent third-party testing commissioned by Bormioli Pharma, Loop PET resin was also tested by a worldwide leader in laboratory testing services and on December 13th, 2023 Loop announced that test results confirmed its Loop??

PET resin meets the strict requirements and standards outlined by the European Pharmacopeia (Ph.Eur. 3.1.15, Polyethylene Terephthalate for Containers for Preparations not for ParenteralUs) and the United States Pharmacopeia (USP, Plastic Materials of Construction) and is compliant for use in packaging applications in the pharmaceutical industry.
