Evertis has introduced the Evercare™ brand, aiming to become a leading provider of medical-grade films designed for superior performance and regulatory compliance in the healthcare market. Building on over 65 years of experience in developing PET and PETG films for regulated applications, Evercare combines sustainability credentials with the stringent requirements of the healthcare industry.
The Evercare brand operates within a vertically integrated group, delivering innovation, sustainability, and supply chain security to healthcare customers. Evertis, as a film converter, collaborates with Selenis, a supplier of innovative copolyester resins developed and certified for the medical value chain, enhancing patient safety. This partnership underscores the group’s commitment to circularity and reducing the carbon footprint of its products.
Evercare’s PET and PETG solutions offer notable advantages over other materials, including improved performance and sustainability. These films facilitate the thermoforming process, provide enhanced mechanical and optical properties, and demonstrate better resistance to sterilization. Manufactured in strict compliance with GMP standards, Evercare films support regulatory needs with declarations such as ISO10993, USP661.1, and ISO11607.
“This is another key milestone in the journey of our group of businesses,” said Gonzalo Lopez-Oleaga, Evertis Europe Deputy CEO. “As innovators in polyester-based materials, we are now positioned to help healthcare companies meet their sustainability packaging goals. We have made significant investments in technology and GMP manufacturing to support this market.”
The healthcare packaging industry faces the challenge of improving sustainability. Evercare addresses this with recyclable PET-based solutions and sustainable options such as bio-based and chemically recycled materials with up to 50% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. These options, integrated with Selenis, meet high quality and regulatory standards, offering a substantial opportunity to lower the carbon footprint.
Casimiro Sacchetti, CSO Evertis Americas, stated, “It’s an exciting and unique offering for the healthcare market. With the innovative Evercare film range, we are actively supporting our medical and pharma customers in transitioning to safe and eco-friendly packaging solutions.”
Evercare aims to play a pivotal role in the healthcare packaging market by combining innovation, sustainability, and regulatory compliance, reinforcing Evertis’ position as a trusted industry leader.
