PHARMAP 2025: Discovering pharma eco-friendly initiatives

The Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packaging Congress (PHARMAP) 2025 is gathering over 350 professionals and experts from all over the industry to share their eco-conscious strategies for production processes. The Congress meets its participants in Berlin, Germany on 14-15 April.

Driven by environmental concerns, packaging development specialists of are actively exploring and using eco-friendly materials and digital manufacturing tools to reduce the ecological impact caused by the pharmaceutical industry. To learn more about the advanced sustainable initiatives, PHARMAP 2025 welcomes top-level management of pharmaceutical companies to share their experience on implementing such technologies in manufacturing and packaging operations.

In particular, the Swiss company SÜDPACK Medica AG created PharmaGuard, a recyclable blister, that this year was considered by WPO World Packaging Organisation as one of the best innovations. Made of polypropylene as a single material, this blister film aligns with current sustainability standards (such as packaging design and safety, recyclability and labelling traceability). The blister has low eco-footprint and at the end of lifecycle can be allocated to existing recyclable material streams. The company is going to share their sustainable solutions within the roundtable session on the first day of PHARMAP 2025. SÜDPACK Medica AG is going to be represented by Jürgen Bodenmüller, Director of Business Development, who also joined the Congress as a speaker last year.

Another example of the company’s sustainable approach is SYNTHIA Retrosynthesis Software, developed by SYNTHIA at Merck. This solution helps chemists to design synthetic pathways aligning with the principles of green chemistry (design for energy efficiency, catalysis, pollution prevention etc). By following these concepts, SYNTHIA avoids usage of hazardous substances in chemical processes. At PHARMAP 2025, Ewa Gajewska, Head of Product Management, is going to present the company’s software technology and comment on how it can address sustainability and supply chain challenges.

More examples of advanced sustainable solutions are going to be showcased at PHARMAP 2025 that is organised to discuss the latest innovations and trends for transforming the industry.
