New Release – White Paper of the GAPL 2 Project: Enhancing Sustainability in Tertiary Packaging for Pharma Air Cargo

Pharma.Aero has released the White Paper showcasing the findings of the sustainability project focusing on the tertiary packaging in the pharmaceutical air cargo. Aimed at advancing the sustainability of tertiary packaging in pharmaceutical air cargo, the project is the result of a broad global collaboration, incorporating insights from 160+ manufacturers, logistics providers, airports, and other key stakeholders across the supply chain.

Pharma.Aero launchedย GAPL 2, the second phase of its Green Air Pharma Logistics initiative, to improve the sustainability of tertiary packaging used in transporting temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals.ย Building on GAPL 1, which introduced the Lane Sustainability Readiness Index (LSRI), this phase focused on developing a comprehensive assessment framework through collaboration with over 160 stakeholders. The framework evaluates packaging solutions based on environmental criteria like carbon footprint, water use, reusability, and recyclability, and integrates with the LSRI to guide industry decisions. GAPL 2 emphasizes that sustainable packaging is a shared responsibility and a critical step toward reducing emissions and advancing circular, climate-conscious logistics.
