Sustainable Pharma: Advancing Goals with Innovative Glass Vials

It’s been acknowledged that the pharmaceutical industry is a leading contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, even higher than the automotive industry. In response, drug makers are setting aggressive sustainability goals and looking to suppliers to jointly combat this immediate and urgent problem.

Corning is committed to pharmaceutical packaging that supports the industry’s aggressive net-zero emissions initiatives. From sustainable innovations in product design, to material reductions that lessen landfill waste, and supply chain optimizations, Corning pharmaceutical packaging decreases the amount of glass and energy used to make a safe and effective parenteral vial. Material reduction results in using less energy and natural gas in the manufacturing process, as well as a reduction in scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions during production.

Pharma packaging like Corning® Viridian™ Vials feature a low-friction external coating, which preserves strength and can improve filling line efficiency, increasing production in a more environmentally friendly fashion.
