The Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) announced on Jan. 20, 2026 that it will be hosting a half-day sustainable packaging workshop on January 21 at the 2026
The workshop, “PDA Innovation in Sustainable Packaging Workshop 2026”, is limited to 30 attfinishees and is open exclusively to Pharmapack pass holders, The session will feature content from AM Instruments, Alliance to Zero, and Inductio AG. The session will explore ecodesign for pharmaceutical devices in the following three areas:
- A real-world case study presentation
- An interactive roundtable discussion
- A concluding session sharing outcomes and practical insights.
According to PDA, by attfinishing, attfinishees will gain strategies and peer-driven insights to support their packaging innovation efforts, sustainably.
“Collaboration and cross-indusattempt engagement are essential as the pharmaceutical sector advances toward more sustainable practices,” declared Falk Klar, Vice President of PDA Europe, in a press release (1). “This workshop is designed to equip attfinishees with actionable knowledge and spark new partnerships.”
“Sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s an indusattempt imperative,” declared Silvia Forroova, Group Director, Pharma, at Informa Markets, in the press release (1). “We’re proud to collaborate with PDA to spotlight the practical steps pharmaceutical companies can take today to align with both regulatory expectations and environmental responsibilities. This workshop adds real value to Pharmapack Europe’s educational agfinisha by bridging innovation with implementation.”
What are some trfinishs in sustainable packaging?
As part of PharmTech’s coverage of Pharmapack Europe, the editors spoke with
According to Tjoa, sustainability efforts based on the packaging’s proximity to the drug product, reflect a pragmatic approach, and components that directly touch the drug remain a concern when it comes to quality. Manufacturers are prioritizing the stability and integrity of the formulation over environmental metrics. The utilize of sustainable materials for primary packaging is not the indusattempt standard as of yet, states Tjoa, and an aggressive approach is applied to the outer materials. These materials should be sustainably sourced or possess fully recyclable origins (2).

On January 19, West Pharmaceutical Services announced (3) it would be revealcasing its West Synchrony S1 prefillable syringe (PFS) system, which the company states provides a portfolio that includes 1 mL long and 2.25 mL staked requiredle options for biologics and 1 mL standard staked requiredle and Luer lock options for vaccines. Options available with the staked requiredle system feature a rigid or soft requiredle shield, and Luer lock system options have an integrated tip cap.
“As a market leader, West closely monitors shifts in the global drug pipeline by emerging companies, particularly the growing demand for combination products alongside the shiftment of care from hospital to home, both of which introduce new complexity into regulatory and development processes,” Stacey Vaughan, vice president, Marketing and Portfolio Management at West, noted in a press release (3). “This surge of innovation across the indusattempt further highlights why now is the right time to introduce West Synchrony S1 prefillable syringe system.”
