Aptar Pharma announces that its Freepod® nasal spray pump - one of the delivery systems for Haleon's Otrivin® brand - is now made with mass balance bio-based resins. This is the first Aptar delivery system using such materials to be commercialized globally Share Reinforcing circularity in pharmaceutical packaging Aptar Pharma's Freepod ® spray pump used with Haleon's Otrivin ® Nasal Spray is made of 52% ISCC Plus certified bio-based feedstock. The bottle is produced using a mass balance approach equivalent to 100% bio-based content. Together, the pump and bottle components result in an overall circular material content of 60% for the full nasal spray device. ISCC PLUS certified manufacturing and supply chain Aptar Pharma is committed to helping its customers meet their sustainability goals, such as reducing the use of fossil-based materials in packaging. The Freepod ® nasal spray components are made from bio-based resins derived from renewable feedstocks like bio-waste and residual oils, using an ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance approach. The Aptar Pharma manufacturing site in Mezzovico, Switzerland, is ISCC PLUS certified, ensuring full traceability of materials throughout the manufacturing process and supply chain. ISCC Plus certification also covers all external suppliers - including injection molding providers, service partners, and warehouses - guaranteeing a fully (ISCC) certified supply chain for the Freepod ® components. Partnership for a more sustainable approach The joint sustainability approach between Haleon (formerly GSK Consumer Healthcare) and Aptar Pharma is built on a long-term partnership spanning over 30 years. This collaboration has led to significant achievements, including the Otrivin ® Freepod ® winning the World Packaging Award in 2019 for its innovative and sustainable design. The use of bio-based or renewable feedstocks for the Otrivin ® products with Freepod ® technology supports Haleon's goal to reduce virgin petroleum-based plastic use by 10% by 2025** and by a third by 2030, compared to 2022 levels. Aptar Pharma's Freepod ® for Otrivin ®, available globally, demonstrates Aptar's commitment to sustainability and innovation. Looking ahead, this collaboration is anticipated to extend to Otrivin Nasal Mist, Haleon's latest microdroplet technology, which is being rolled out globally since 2023.

Additionally, the acquisition accelerates the adoption of new drug delivery technologies, initially focusing on OINDPs, with potential expansion into dermal, ophthalmic, injectable and secondary packaging solutions using Aptar's Active Material Science Solutions. Aptar Pharma will now operate an FDA-inspected, state-of-the-art facility in Boonton, New Jersey. The site includes cGMP cleanrooms, high-potency Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) suites, biologics capabilities, and advanced fill-finish technologies - fully aligned with Aptar Pharma's drug delivery solutions portfolio.
