Recycling solutions for Medicine Blister Packs

Medicine blister packs represent a significant waste stream in healthcare, combining valuable aluminum foil with specialized plastics in a format that's challenging to separate through conventional recycling. With billions of units produced annually and increasing regulatory pressure on pharmaceutical packaging waste, manufacturers need structured take-back solutions to recover materials and meet extended producer responsibility requirements.

With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:

Recover high-value materials
Reduce disposal costs and material purchasing costs by up to 35%
Meet regulation obligations with audit-grade reporting

What's Inside a Medicine Blister Pack?

Most blister packs are lightweight, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:

Aluminum foil
42%
Lidding foil, high-grade aluminum
PVC plastic
38%
Forming film, medical-grade PVC
PVDC coating
8%
Barrier coating for moisture protection
Adhesives
7%
Heat-seal adhesives between layers
Other materials
5%
Inks, lacquers, and other coatings

This composition, especially the aluminum foil and PVC plastic, makes medicine blister packs ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
