One of the biggest concerns in medical packaging is whether sustainable materials can match the performance and reliability of traditional plastics, especially under sterilization processes like steam (121–134°C), ethylene oxide (EO), or gamma irradiation.
With ISCC PLUS-certified materials, the answer is yes.
1. Understanding the Mass Balance Approach
ISCC PLUS allows the use of bio-based, bio-circular, or chemically recycled feedstocks through a system called mass balance. This approach enables manufacturers to integrate sustainable content into conventional production lines — without changing the chemical composition or mechanical behavior of the final product.
In other words: same function, better source.
2. Performance Meets Compliance
Certified polymers such as bio-attributed PET-G, recycled PE, or mass-balanced medical films can deliver the same:
● Barrier performance
● Mechanical strength
● Sterility assurance
as their fossil-based counterparts.
These materials are fully tested and compatible with high-temperature sterilization, making them ideal for sterile barrier systems, form-fill-seal films, pouches, and indicator labels.
3. Better Choices, Same Safety
With ISCC PLUS-certified inputs, packaging producers don’t have to choose between performance and planet. At Hopeway AMD, our certified manufacturing site ensures that every ISCC PLUS-based material we use is traceable, audit-ready, and suitable for critical medical applications.
