Recyclable Blister Packaging Proven as a Complete System
kpNext® R1 blister film paired with StreamOne® Px peelable lidding delivers a RecyClass-certified package designed for the RIC 1 recycling stream
A new standard for pharmaceutical blister packaging is now achievable without compromise. By combining kpNext® R1 with StreamOne® Px peelable lidding from PAXXUS, this fully compatible blister package has been validated through RecyClass certification for recyclability within the RIC 1 stream. The structure maintains the performance, clarity, and processing consistency expected from traditional systems while enabling a more sustainable pathway—without requiring changes to existing thermoforming operations.
Benefits
This system brings together verified recyclability, proven performance, and seamless processing. It enables a transition toward more sustainable blister packaging without introducing operational risk.
RecyClass-Certified Packaging
Validated as a complete blister system, this structure confirms compatibility with the RIC 1 recycling stream—providing credible, third-party support for recyclability claims.
Seamless Integration
Processes on standard thermoforming lines without tooling changes, allowing manufacturers to transition without impacting production efficiency or output.
Exceptional Clarity for Brand Impact
Unparallel clarity of both lid stock and base film provides excellent branding capabilities
Reliable Seal. Smooth Peel
StreamOne® Px child resistant film seals and peels smoothly from kpNext® R1 blister films
kp and PAXXUS partnered to develop a breakthrough in sustainable pharmaceutical packaging—the first fully recyclable blister package designed for the RIC 1 recycling stream. By combining kpNext® R1 blister film with PAXXUS’ StreamOne® Px child-resistant, peelable lidding film, our two companies have created a high-performance solution that meets industry demands for both sustainability, product protection, and child safety.
RecyClass Certification
This blister packaging solution has been independently validated through RecyClass certification, confirming compatibility with the RIC 1 (PET) recycling stream when kpNext® R1 blister film is used in combination with StreamOne® Px peelable lidding. Unlike material-only assessments, this certification applies to the complete package structure—providing confidence that both components work together to support recyclability. For pharmaceutical manufacturers, this level of validation helps reduce risk while advancing more sustainable packaging strategies aligned with evolving industry expectations.
