The innovative spray pump is made from 52% ISCC Plus certified bio-based feedstock. The bottle is produced using a mass balance approach, ensuring it is equivalent to 100% bio-based content. When combined, the pump and bottle achieve an overall circular material content of 60%, supporting sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aptar Pharma\u2019s manufacturing site in Mezzovico, Switzerland, holds ISCC PLUS certification, ensuring full traceability of materials throughout production. This certification extends to external suppliers, including injection molders, logistics providers, and partners, ensuring a fully certified supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaboration between Haleon and Aptar Pharma spans over 30 years, emphasizing their shared commitment to sustainability. This partnership led to the 2019 World Packaging Award for the innovative design of the Freepod\u00ae device. Haleon aims to reduce virgin petroleum-based plastics by one-third by 2030, supported by sustainable packaging innovations like this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
