Medical Device Packagers—Pioneers in Sustainability?

At last week’s Medical Design & Manufacturing East and EastPack shows, sustainability was discussed more often than I expected in healthcare packaging. After all, points out Curt Larsen, a consultant with Dupont Medical Packaging and a member of PMP News’s Editorial Advisory Board, ISO 11607 demands traceability for sterile medical packaging. And traceability is hard to achieve when using recycled content. Nonetheless, more than a few exhibitors and attendees at the East show reported that their healthcare product customers are asking about sustainability.
