Material Shifts in Pharma Packaging Create New Role for OEMs

oem

mar. 6, 2026

The pharmaceutical industry faces unique sustainability challenges due to the sensitivity of its products to environmental factors.

According to PMMI’s Trends and Challenges in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing report, some ways CPGs are seeking to improve packaging sustainability while still meeting regulatory and safety needs are: direct printing (31%), the use of PCR material(27%), and lightweighting (22%).

However, 22% of CPG respondents said they don’t have any packaging sustainability features, leaving opportunities for OEMs and suppliers to support end users with meeting sustainability goals.

Looking ahead, the most common plan to improve packaging sustainability is to modify material formats. CPGs said material reduction (27%), PCR material (24%), compostables (24%), and biodegradable materials (20%) are some of the primary focus areas in the future.
