Sustainable packaging is critical for chemical manufacturers due to consumer demand. While eco-friendly options (recycled materials, bioplastics, etc.) offer environmental benefits, challenges exist (compliance, performance, etc.). Manufacturers need to consider chemical composition, barrier properties, lifecycle analysis, and greenwashing regulations. Freyr provides regulatory support for sustainable packaging and ecolabeling, helping manufacturers ensure compliance and understand greenwashing regulations.  Consult us: https://lnkd.in/dtwuGWQs #SustainablePackaging #ChemicalManufacturers #GreenwashingRegulations #Ecolabeling #RegulatoryCompliance #FreyrSolutions

You don’t WANT to greenwash. But what if you don’t have a choice? For pharmaceutical manufacturers, this challenge is even tougher: 😓 Struggling to meet GDP compliance while phasing out non-compliant materials like polystyrene. 😓 Suppliers misrepresenting the environmental impact of your products, risking your reputation. 😓 Pressure from investors and regulators to meet ambitious Scope 3 emission targets. You may feel forced to label packaging as “sustainable origin” or “100% recycled” — even if it’s not fully true. The good news? There’s a better way. At Planet Protector, we help pharma companies eliminate polystyrene in their supply chain while keeping costs low and ensuring compliance with the strictest standards. 🌱 Our secret? WOOLPACK — a thermally superior, sustainable alternative to polystyrene that maintains temperature-sensitive goods at optimal conditions. We also run small-scale trials to ensure the product is the perfect fit for your cold chain needs. Ready to leave greenwashing behind? Click ‘Visit my website’ next to my name to learn more.
