Case Study: HR Pharmaceuticals achieves more sustainable, waste-reducing ultrasound gel packaging with Glenroy

HR Pharmaceuticals reduces packaging waste 94% with Glenroy

HR Pharmaceuticals, a supplier of medical supply products, identified a significant amount of waste and a lack of eco-friendly options in the ultrasound gel market. Their challenge was to develop a sustainable, high-performance gel with innovative packaging that would meet the green initiatives of their health system customers. They partnered with packaging vendor Glenroy to create a solution for this new product.

Glenroy provided innovative flexible packaging, the EcoVue FlexPac pouch, for the new ultrasound gel. The solution resulted in a 94% reduction in pallet use for shipping, allowed for 99.5% product evacuation to drastically reduce waste, and led to an estimated $1.9 million in annual industry savings. Customers reported positive feedback on the sustainable packaging, a major reduction in leaks and returns, and overall cost savings. Glenroy's partnership was crucial in delivering this best-in-class, sustainable solution.
