Home // Resources // Knowledge Base // Making Plastic Parts More Sustainable This article will explain bio-based and recycled raw materials often used in plastics while exploring key factors such as color, performance, regulations, price, and supply. Similar to traditional materials, confirming which standards must be met and ensuring the sustainable plastic formulation is compliant is important.

Choosing different materials can help reduce the carbon footprint of manufactured products. Plastics, due to their durability and versatility, are a material of choice for various healthcare products, such as pharmaceutical bottles and vials, drug delivery devices, monitoring devices, surgical instruments, or labware. Like all Mevopur products, Mevopur Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions use raw materials pre-tested to ISO 10993-1, USP and , EP 3.1.3 / 3.1.5 (polyolefin packaging materials), USP (polyethylene) and ICH Q3D (elemental impurities).
