AI in Pharmaceutical Packaging: Innovations Driving Quality, Compliance, and Sustainability
The pharmaceutical industry stands at a pivotal crossroads, where innovation must meet rigorous safety and compliance standards. Among the many transformative forces reshaping this landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful driver of change—especially in the area of pharmaceutical packaging.
This innovative solution allows companies to streamline decision-making in the development of compostable materials.
The plastics industry is moving towards a more sustainable model, driven by circular economy principles and innovation in biodegradable and compostable materials. However, conventional biodegradation tests, as required by current regulations, are time-consuming and costly, limiting companies’ ability to explore new formulations from the early stages of development.
The first compostable sachets, which boast 12 months’ shelf life and are home or industrially compostable, will soon be in the market.
In recent years, small sachet formats have come under scrutiny for the environmental challenges they pose. Commonly used to dispense condiments, sauces, personal care creams, and other liquid products, these single-use plastic envelopes offer convenience to consumers — yet present significant end-of-life issues, rendering them unrecyclable.
