+PLUSPAK supports environmentally friendly packaging

Less hazardous waste disposal
In a unit that uses 20 100-mL bottles every day,

• Glass bottles generate 1.9 kg of waste
• Polypropylene only generates 0.3 kg of waste¹

That's a weight difference of 83% in favor of +PLUSPAK, with clear benefits for the cost of waste disposal.¹

Fully recyclable
+PLUSPAK packaging contains 0% phthalate and meets the requirements of the US Pharmacopoeia. Polypropylene is an environmentally friendly solution that is fully recyclable without harmful emissions. By choosing polypropylene over glass, the use of +PLUSPAK²:

• Results in 54% lower life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions
• Requires 45% lower cumulative energy over its life cycle
• Results in 61% lower impact on ecosystem quality

Polypropylene bottles require less secondary packaging, further reducing your carbon footprint.
