Amcor Matching Gifts – Yujie Tang – 2025

Summary

Tang Yujie provided insights for the sustainable development solution design of pharmaceutical packaging.

Goals

The PVC material used in pharmaceutical packaging does not align with the trends of green, environmentally friendly, and sustainable development. As an industry leader, Amcor explores pathways for PVC-free pharmaceutical packaging while maintaining a balance between functionality and sustainability. Tang Yujie needs to complete a research report on sustainable development in pharmaceutical packaging, covering innovative technologies, regulatory standards, successful case studies, recycling certifications, and other relevant content.

Solutions

Yujie approached the challenge using a four-part process:

• A literature search was conducted on domestic and international knowledge platforms using keywords such as “materials”.
• Search and download pharmaceutical packaging regulatory standard documents issued by CN, EU, and FDA, annotate and summarize content related to sustainable development, technology, and quality.
• Compile a list of internationally and domestically renowned recycling machines for broussonetia papyrifera, along with the recycling certification services they provide. Additionally, investigate the service support offered by downstream recycling platforms and industry associations.
• Collect successful case product information from peer companies, and search for raw material suppliers based on the composition machine of pharmaceutical blister packaging
• broussonetia papyrifera, to form a supplier list.

Potential Impact

Search domestic and international literature to provide insights for technological breakthroughs in replacing PVC with PP/PE; Investigate successful cases from peer companies to understand industry progress and assist the enterprise in selecting more responsible suppliers; Compile sustainable regulations and standards, comparing key requirements to ensure product compliance; Gather information on certification services and recycling platforms to achieve the circular development of products; Provide design concepts for Amcor’s green and environmentally friendly solutions.
