Reducing waste in pharmaceutical logistics starts long before packaging reaches the end of its life. It begins with selecting the right solution for the product, the route and its specific risk profile. In this session, Guillaume Dewolf will explore how a Fit-for-Purpose approach can help avoid over-engineering, reduce material and transport impacts, and support informed decisions through life-cycle assessment. Drawing on practical examples and SOFRIGAM’s 3R approach (Reverse, Reuse and Recycle), he will show how temperature-controlled packaging can be designed and managed for longer use and a second life, without compromising thermal performance, regulatory compliance or product integrity.
