The UPM Biochemicals has collaborated with Selenis, and Bormioli Pharma to produce BioPET bottles made from partially wood-based PET for the pharmaceutical industry.<\/p>\n

The partnership is intended to support the pharmaceutical industry\u2019s transition towards a more sustainable packaging solutions while maintaining product safety and performance.<\/p>\n

The new bottles contain UPM\u2019s carbon-negative BioMEG and are produced from Selenis\u2019 partial BioPET resins.<\/p>\n

This resulted in reduced carbon footprints without compromising the quality offered by traditional fossil PET.<\/p>\n

These new pharmaceutical bottles have met European Pharmacopeia standards and will be globally available from Bormioli Pharma starting in the first quarter of 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

UPM is developing an industry scale biorefinery that transforms woody biomass into high value biochemicals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
