In April, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare (GSK) announced a commitment to reduce plastic usage by 20% on the more than 80 million Advil bottles produced annually, which will reduce the use of plastic in the environment by approximately 500,000 pounds
.
Advil is actually our common ibuprofen pain reliever, which is a safe and effective over-the-counter (OTC) drug
.
The company reports that a new barrier technology will be used, a change that will allow Advil bottles to use less HDPE material while maintaining all of the bottle's key performance characteristics
.
This is the first OTC pharmaceutical sustainable plastic technology solution, thanks to GSK's cooperation with Dow and Milliken in materials, and cooperation with Alltrista Plastics in manufacturing
.
Alltrista blow molds the bottle by compression, continuously squeezing the plastic, cutting it into "clumps" and transferring the clumps into a compression cavity, pressing into preformed forms and stretching into the finished bottle

Effective barrier to ensure safety
Milliken's UltraGuard™ polyethylene solutions control crystallization and bring value to polyethylene parts by improving the resin's barrier properties 20-60% reduction in the transmission rate of substances (e.
g.
moisture, O2, CO2, grease, VOCs, solvents)
.
This is especially valuable for barrier enhancement of HDPE vials, as it helps maintain drug effectiveness until the end of the shelf life
.
Lighter bottle with larger capacity
To meet barrier requirements, UltraGuard™ solutions can also thin the walls of the vial
.
PE resins formulated with UltraGuard™ allow manufacturers to reduce the weight of these bottles by up to 20% without changing their capacity
.
As a result, these lighter weight bottles use significantly less material and reduce their overall environmental impact
.
.
Research is currently underway on how to use this resin technology elsewhere
.
"A lot of development has gone into it, and it's a really great technology given three benefits: less plastic, the same barrier properties, and no impact on recyclability," she said
.
"So we're looking at other places where this plastic can be used, as well as seeking other ways to reduce or remove it
