    Japanese ophthalmic pharmaceutical company Santen has announced plans to launch the first bio-based plastic eye drop bottle in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) as part of Santen's commitment to achieving zero carbon emissions
    .

    The plastic material of this eye drop bottle is made from a sugar cane derivative called "I Am Green Polyethylene"

    The biomaterial maintains the structural integrity of the bottle like traditional petroleum-based plastics, ensuring stable and safe delivery of drugs to patients

    It is understood that this bio-based eye drop bottle has been launched in Japan in June 2021 and will be launched in the EMEA region in early 2023

    The adoption of bio-based plastic bottles is an important step towards achieving these goals
