EPP Environmentally Preferred Packaging for Healthcare Products
Packaging for Healthcare has got a long way to go in even determining what EPP is. If we look at plastic packaging for pharmaceuticals and medical device packaging (the vast majority of what can be considered healthcare packaging), the package manufacturers are not even allowed to use trim scrap or closed loop regrind in their processes. This is despite the fact that all of the materials are fully FDA approved, have never left the plant and, in many cases, could be easily be fed back to the individual machines in a closed loop. Recycled content? Not even being considered by pharmaceutical companies or medical device manufacturers. What does it matter if you use environmentally friendly materials (whatever they may be determined to be), if waste on a pretty substantial scale is tolerated?
