Blister packs made from PET, PVC, or PP can take hundreds of years to decompose; the exact time depends on factors such as the thickness of the material. However it can take up to 500 years or more. Rather than decomposing without residues, plastics actually breaks down into microplastics, which remain in the environment and do never degrade completely.

Using new materials, thinking outside the box while minimizing the environmental impact - we are aware that it is a big challenge. 

However, someone has to start somewhere.

Our first project - which has been successfully commercialized - was the development of plastic-free weekly blister packs made from renewable resources thus home compostable after use. Done ✔️

Now we are tackling compostable blister pouches. Then we will aim at counting vials. We'll keep you updated.

The problem - a few numbers

• in Germany alone there were 1.486.000.000 original boxes with PVC/aluminium blisters of medication in 2023 [1]
• In the US there were 6.700.000.000 prescriptions in 2022 
• millions of patients receive blister pouches - one patient receives an average 2-3m plastic film/week
• In Canada there are 160 million counting vials per year made from plastic

solution? new materials!

We are exploring and researching new materials that are made from renewable resources and are home compostable after use thus avoiding plastics being emitted into the environment.
