EPR Solutions for Pharmaceutical Companies

Medical packaging EPR compliance for pharma and healthcare products

Get StartedLearn More

Overview

Pharmaceutical companies must comply with EPR regulations for all plastic packaging used in medicines, medical devices, and healthcare products. We ensure full compliance while maintaining focus on patient safety and regulatory standards.

EPR Requirements for Pharmaceutical Companies

Pharmaceutical Packaging Registration

Register for EPR covering primary packaging (blister packs, bottles), secondary packaging (cartons), and tertiary packaging (shipping materials).

Multi-layer Plastic Compliance

Higher EPR targets apply to multi-layered plastics commonly used in pharmaceutical packaging for product protection.

Product Safety Documentation

Maintain documentation proving EPR compliance does not compromise product safety, sterility, or regulatory standards.

Hospital and Pharmacy Coordination

Establish waste collection systems for packaging waste generated at hospitals, pharmacies, and healthcare facilities.

Common EPR Challenges

  • High usage of multi-layered plastics due to barrier protection requirements
  • Balancing EPR compliance with drug safety and sterility standards
  • Managing EPR across prescription drugs, OTC products, and medical devices
  • Coordinating with distributors, hospitals, and pharmacies for waste collection
  • Higher EPR certificate costs for pharmaceutical-grade packaging materials
  • Regulatory overlap between drug regulations and environmental compliance

How We Help Pharmaceutical Companies

Pharma-specific EPR Registration

Registration tailored to pharmaceutical industry requirements with documentation supporting product safety compliance.

MLP Certificate Procurement

Success Story

A pharmaceutical company with 50+ formulations using primarily multi-layered plastic packaging was facing high EPR compliance costs (projected ₹18 lakhs annually). We registered them with CPCB, optimized their packaging categorization, established a pharmacy-based collection program covering 200 outlets, and procured MLP certificates at negotiated rates, reducing annual costs to ₹13.5 lakhs while achieving 100% compliance.
