Redefining pharmaceutical packaging with safety, quality, and sustainability
Datwyler is proud to unveil a new option in its flip cap range: a bio-sourced material for the plastic disc, debuting at CPhI Worldwide 2025. This alternative to fossil-based plastics maintains the same high performance while helping reduce reliance on fossil resources. A small but meaningful step toward more sustainable pharma packaging.
This launch reflects Datwyler’s commitment to creating long-term value for customers, communities, and the planet. Our approach integrates sustainability into every stage, from product development to production, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and our promise to reduce environmental impact across the value chain.
Our latest flip caps feature a bio-based polypropylene disc made from second-generation feedstock, paired with fully recyclable aluminum. By reducing reliance on fossil-based materials, these seals support the circular economy and help our customers advance their own sustainability goals without compromising on quality or function.
ISCC Plus certified under the mass balance approach, the raw material ensures full traceability and verified environmental benefits.
Product carbon footprint analysis applying a cradle-to-gate confirms a significant reduction in carbon footprint compared to standard caps, contributing measurable impact to global CO₂ reduction efforts.
100% of aluminum scrap in Datwyler’s production is recovered through certified recycling partners.
Manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities, Datwyler’s bio-based flip caps are tested to meet the highest pharmaceutical standards, guaranteeing the same sealing integrity, safety, and customization options as traditional versions.
Available in five standard designs and 40 plastic colors
Offered with five aluminum color options
Compatible with embossing, debossing, and printing customization
