This initiative supports efforts to accelerate the shift to circular pharmaceutical packaging in line with the NHS Net Zero 2040 commitment. The healthcare and pharmaceutical sector currently generates more than 230,000 tonnes of predominantly single-use plastic each year, yet concerns around contamination, regulatory compliance, and end-of-life processes have limited progress.
To help overcome these barriers, Nextek will apply its scCO₂-based technology platform to advance the development and adoption of high-performance, smart, and sustainable packaging that maintains product safety, performance, and integrity throughout the supply chain.
