Montreal, January 24, 2024.-
Loop Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:LOOP) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a clean technology company whose mission is to accelerate a circular plastic economy by manufacturing polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”) plastic and 100% recycled polyester fiber, and Bormioli Pharma, an international leader in pharmaceutical packaging and medical devices, today announced that an innovative pharmaceutical packaging bottle made from 100% recycled Loop™ PET resin will be presented at the Bormioli stand at Pharmapack Europe 2024 of virgin quality.Bormioli Pharma and Loop Industries aim to introduce market-ready solutions for the global pharmaceutical industry and the two companies began collaborating more than a year ago to achieve this goal. Bormioli Pharma tested Loop™ PET resin in its packaging, commissioning independent third parties to carry out additional analyzes to verify extractable levels with different solutions, also taking into account the worst-case scenario. The results of these tests set a new benchmark for recycled plastic products within the pharmaceutical industry, as bottles produced with Loop™ PET resin do not release any substances considered to be of toxicological relevance. Bormioli Pharma’s EcoPositive offering, which brings together low-impact packaging solutions, currently constitutes 50% of its standard catalogue, contributing to positioning itself among the players with the widest sustainable offer on the international market. In addition to the independent third-party tests commissioned by Bormioli Pharma, the LoopTM PET resin was also tested by a global leader in laboratory testing services and on December 13, 2023, Loop announced that test results confirmed that its Loop™ PET resin meets the strict requirements and standards set by the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur. 3.1.15, Polyethylene Terephthalate for Containers for Preparations not for Parenteral Uses) and the United States Pharmacopeia (USP <661.1>, Plastic Materials of Construction) and is suitable for use in packaging applications in the pharmaceutical industry.” Through this collaboration with Loop we reinforce our role as a solid, quality and reliable partner for the pharmaceutical industry,” stated Andrea Lodetti, CEO of Bormioli Pharma. “Loop Industries shares our values and commitment, and together we have made available a new sustainable pharmaceutical-grade solution, which exhibits even higher safety standards than traditional ones.” Daniel Solomita, Founder and CEO of Loop Industries, commented: “Thank you In our collaboration with Bormioli Pharma, we have developed an innovative pharmaceutical packaging solution made from 100% recycled virgin grade LoopTM PET resin. This high quality packaging alternative raises the bar for responsible solutions and helps set a new packaging standard sustainable in the pharmaceutical industry.”About Bormioli Pharma Bormioli Pharma collaborates closely with the pharmaceutical industry and all companies working for the future of healthcare on a global scale.
