• These will be used to package a medication indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, as well as vasomotor rhinitis.

The tub, which is suitable for home recycling, has a “luxurious design”, embellished with gold foil.

It features an integrated reclose feature, so it can be shut securely after opening.

The goal is to supply 80,000 metric tons of feedstock for Freepoint Eco-Systems’ first European advanced recycling facility to be located at the Kluizendok site in Ghent, Belgium.

The companies respond to the growing demand for sustainable solutions for end-of-life plastics and the use of pyrolysis oil to create recycled products.
