APF Futurity nasal spray pump certified Highly Recyclable by cyclos-HTP<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aptar Pharma, part of AptarGroup, Inc. (NYSE: ATR), a global leader in drug delivery systems, services and active material science solutions, today announces the launch of APF Futurity, its first metal-free, multidose nasal spray pump developed to deliver nasal saline and other comparable over-the-counter (OTC) formulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically designed for recyclability, APF Futurity is Aptar Pharma\u2019s first highly recyclable nasal spray pump, having achieved a Class AA certification from cyclos-HTP for recycling streams in Europe1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APF Futurity is made from polyolefin materials with no metal parts or recycling disruptors, thereby minimizing separation efforts in recycling streams and supporting a higher quality of recyclates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gael Touya, President, Aptar Pharma, commented, \u201cAs a leading provider of nasal spray pumps globally, the launch of APF Futurity is a significant step forward in our sustainability journey, underlining Aptar\u2019s overall commitment to a more circular economy and meeting the global need for sustainable packaging solutions that are easy to recycle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of Aptar Pharma\u2019s Futurity sustainable solutions platform, APF Futurity meets a growing consumer need for increased access to recyclable products. In a study conducted by Aptar Pharma in 2022, 77% of respondents indicated that it was \u2018important\u2019 or \u2018very important\u2019 that the products they buy can be recycled2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When used in combination with a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) container bottle, a product with the APF Futurity pump can be conveniently recycled as one piece when empty after use, with no need to separate or detach any parts or materials before disposal, a key user benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovative design based on proven technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

APF Futurity is based on Aptar Pharma\u2019s proven Advanced Preservative Free (APF) technology platform, and has been initially developed to deliver multidose nasal saline and comparable OTC formulations. The innovative metal-free pump, for which patent protection has been filed, delivers precise and consistent dosing with soft actuation, with no trade-off on handling and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAPF Futurity is a game-changing innovation for the nasal spray pump industry and I am proud of our design and engineering team for meeting the challenge of designing this metal-free nasal pump,\u201d stated Stefan Ritsche, President Global Market Development, Consumer Health Care, Aptar Pharma. \u201cThis is an important step in the transformation of our nasal spray portfolio to more sustainable solutions, and we look forward to bringing additional innovations of this kind to meet the need in the pharmaceutical industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
