For SLW Consultants we know that food is one of the most important parts of everyday life. Due to this reason, many companies have come up with solutions to keep up with the demands of the ever increasing population. The food industry is known to be the biggest supplier of employment across the globe. In addition to this, it has the biggest investment under its sleeves. We at SLW understand this. The availability of raw materials at international level has prompted the growth of the food industry. Also, the inclusion of technology in the food industry has pushed the demand for food processing equipment manufacturers.

Pharmaceutical packaging is highly regulated but with some variation in the details, depending on the country of origin or the region. At SLW Consultants, we understand this. Several common factors can include: assurance of patient safety, assurance of the efficacy of the drug through the intended shelf life, uniformity of the drug through different production lots, thorough documentation of all materials and processes. We also create control of possible migration of packaging components into the drug, control of degradation of the drug by oxygen, moisture, heat, light exposure etc., prevention of microbial contamination, sterility.

For over-the-counter (OTC) product brand-owners, packaging is critical: high standards for quality and safety mean strict attention to protecting the product inside. SLW Consultants we understand this. On crowded shelves, it’s important to differentiate with packaging that attracts interest, reflects such high standards, and communicates vital information about the product. Furthermore, today’s over-the-counter brands and their retailers seek to improve the sustainability of their packaging and adapt to increasing e-commerce.

Sustainability

How can the physical demands of over-the-counter packaging be achieved sustainably? We at SLW understand this. There are plenty of considerations when evaluating packaging sustainability – and not just limited to the packaging material itself. The true impact of these materials can be studied with verifiable methods like life cycle assessment (LCA). OTC producers and packers need to partner with the right experts who are knowledgeable in the end-use to arrive at packaging solutions that are safe, strong, sustainable, and cut down the added expense of waste.
