EMBALL’ISO together with Monoceros SAS won the 2022 Sustainable Medicines Packaging Circularity Award (Circularity award)

This project was driven by two objectives: reduce temperature excursion and reduce CO2 footprint.

Context

• 30% of pharma is discarded due to logistic issues (temperature excursion)
• 70% of the CO2eq of packaging come from its production
• 80% of the CO2eq of data-logger comes from its production

EMBALL’ISO and Monoceros work on a smart reusable solution that help reduce loss costs and CO2 emissions.

• Package is full Live monitoring of location and conditions starts
• Package secures temperature conditions during transport
• Continuous real-time monitoring and alerts for proactive actions
• Package reached destination with medicines in perfect conditions
• Data already on the platform and report ready for compliance
• Package collected by EMBALL’ISO for reuse
• Automatic end of delivery detection, no human needed
• Package cleaned, checked, and sold on local market / new user
• Logger automatic switch to storage mode until next delivery
• Package ready for delivery of new medicine
• Logger receives updated conditions to monitor

Circularity is key to face actual challenges.

Conclusion

• -30% of pharma saved for damaged
• -91% of CO2eq saved with reusable packaging
• -98% of CO2eq saved with smart reusable data-loggers
