MRP Solutions
Sustainable Plastic Packaging for the Pharmaceutical Industry

The pharmaceutical industry is adopting an environmentalaligned approach in its packaging operations. It is trying to reduce non-ecofriendly materials and embrace more sustainable packaging practices as part of its sustainability goals. Aiding them in these efforts is MRP Solutions. The Company addresses market needs by offering innovative yet sustainable packaging products, including high-quality child-resistant closures (CRC) and jars.

As over-the-counter (OTC) offerings and conversion of prescription products to OTC increase, pharma clients not only need child-resistant features, but they also want product packaging that stands out on the shelf while providing security and ensuring quality. This is precisely what MRP Solutions brings to the table. Its agile business model allows this trusted packaging provider to modify existing tooling from its extensive stock library and create a customized packaging solution that enhances brand value while ensuring safety and functionality.

“Our team of engineers provides guidance on the best form, fit, and function along with liner recommendations, protocol testing, and on-site technical service to help clients find the best packaging options for their diverse products,” states Jim Fitzgerald, president, and CEO of MRP Solutions.

MRP Solutions’ high-quality, recyclable rigid-plastic packaging components benefit millions of consumers worldwide. The closure and jar manufacturer provides a unique combination of innovative design and quality to facilitate an industry-leading customer experience. Its expertise around CRC functionality, compliance, and technical service are unmatched.

When it comes to product selection, clients count on the consultative approach offered by the MRP Solutions team. MRP offers total customizable packaging options for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

They can design a package, from concept to production. This approach ensures the customer receives a robust and creative design, guaranteeing operational efficiencies to create a package that protects the product while still running efficiently on the manufacturer’s filling stations.

The firm’s ISO-certified, stagegate R&D process encompasses indepth strategic market research and a comprehensive review and approval process from the rendering stage through manufacturing and production. Sustainable manufacturing initiatives further augment the capabilities of MRP Solutions. Their largest facility in Plattsburgh, New York, runs solely on hydroelectric power, giving MRP Solutions a significant advantage over traditional manufacturers in terms of emission factors and minimization of greenhouse gases (GHG). MRP Solutions incorporates post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin in both the inner and outer parts of the CRC while pursuing protocol testing to validate packaging compliance.

The competencies of MRP Solutions are highlighted in an instance where one of its clients sought a more sustainable packaging solution for their products. They wanted their logo embossed on childresistant packaging while maintaining their vibrant jewel-tone colors and incorporating PCR. MRP Solutions helped them create a design to include their logo. It also worked to match over 15 colors with various levels of post-consumer recycled resin to launch a customized, sustainable solution for the customer.

MRP Solutions’ reputation and strategic partnerships with customers boost its growth. Its customer-centric service, collaboration, and flexibility afford MRP the right to be a preferred vendor of choice.

MRP Solutions continues to bring better packaging options to the pharmaceutical packaging sector and empowers brands to reach their sustainable packaging goals.
