Sustainable Packaging Solutions

Sustainable packaging solutions that protect your product – and the planet.

 

Sustainability in healthcare packaging is a strategic necessity. Regulatory requirements are tightening, consumer expectations are shifting, and brands that act today will be better positioned for tomorrow. 

Sanner offers two complementary solutions that make it easier to meet your sustainability targets without compromising product protection or operational efficiency: Sanner BioBase®, our bio-based effervescent tube, and the Sanner Tethered Cap, a smart closure that supports the circular economy. 

Sanner BioBase®

Replace fossil materials

  • Over 90% renewable raw materials. 
  • Bio-based polyethylene (bio-PE) derived from sugar cane. 
  • Reduces dependency on fossil fuels. 
  • Classified as vegan. 

Reduce your carbon footprint.

  • Plants absorb CO₂ during the growth phase, lowering lifecycle emissions. 
  • Reduced greenhouse gas emissions versus conventional PP tubes. 

Recyclable packaging by design.

  • Mono-material construction supports highest recyclability. 
  • Compatible with existing recycling streams. 

No trade-off on protection.

BioBase® maintains the moisture protection your product needs. With a 30–40% improvement in shelf life versus standard PP tubes, and a water vapor transmission rate only 3-4 times higher than aluminum, it is a viable choice for moisture-sensitive effervescent formulations.

BioBase® is fully compatible with standard filling and labeling equipment. Processing properties are equivalent to conventional packaging, and the tube is printable or can be IML labeled – so your production workflow remains unchanged.

Tethered Cap

  • Cap stays attached after opening – no detached components. 
  • Aligns with EU regulatory trends around single-use plastics and packaging waste. 
  • Reinforces an eco-conscious brand image
  • Simplifies sorting and disposal for the end consumer. 
  • Higher proportion of plastic material available for recycling. 
  • Contributes to reducing microplastic dispersion. 
  • Fully compatible with existing Sanner effervescent tubes. 
  • No machine changes or process modifications required. 
  • Same intuitive opening and reclosing experience as conventional closures. 
  • Proven Sanner quality and product protection. 

The Tethered Cap is available for Sanner’s standard effervescent tube portfolio, requiring no changes to your current packaging line setup.
