Pharma-Tech A/S works every day to move potential sales towards more sustainable solutions.
In 2026, we are once again seeing increasing production of products made from Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic. In addition, we continuously work to reduce the amount of raw material used in each package wherever possible, while ensuring that the products continue to provide sufficient protection for their contents and thereby also help reduce food waste.
A project involving circular recycling has now become a reality. The products supplied to the customer are now manufactured using 25% recycled material. The recycled material originates from used products returned to us by the customer. The plastic is then granulated and can be directly reused in the production of new products. This reduces the need for virgin raw materials and lowers the environmental footprint.
We are always looking for similar projects that can support sustainable production and increase the proportion of recycled plastic in the products we manufacture.
In 2022, our first machine capable of manufacturing PET products arrived. PET has the advantage that recycled plastic can also be used for food and medical applications. This represents an important step towards strengthening the opportunities to use recycled plastic, including for food packaging and medical applications. The recycled content can be as high as 100%, and the majority of our PET production is carried out using 100% recycled plastic.
We actively work to reduce energy consumption throughout the company. Since 2015, we have reduced our energy consumption per kg of plastic by 40% through energy improvements to our production equipment, changes to working procedures, innovative solutions, and investments in new production equipment.
Pharma-Tech A/S aims to reduce production waste in order to minimize the need for virgin raw materials and reduce the amount of waste generated. This commitment is reflected in our ISO 14001 certification, which was achieved in 2022.
Pharma-Tech A/S is working towards more sustainable packaging for our products. In 2022, we replaced the cardboard used for our boxes and trays with recycled cardboard, and today almost 98% of all cardboard we use is FSC certified. We are also successfully working with return schemes, allowing customers to return cardboard trays for direct reuse, without any energy consumption beyond the transportation back to us.
We participate in networks where we, together with other stakeholders, can influence the development. For example. utilization of surplus heat (Randers Municipality)
We are also participating in a three-year project with the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, the Danish Technological Institute, and other major Danish and European companies in a network focused on the recycling of PE and PP plastics for food applications.
By purchasing recycled plastic for production, we strengthen the incentive to hand in plastic waste for recycling.
Pharma Tech A / S informs customers about the possibility of production in sustainable recycled materials and already has the knowledge and technology to manufacture in these materials, as we have already produced several products in these materials.
This strengthens the fight against plastic waste ending up in the sea
