Glass Technology Services has announced the upcoming “Future of pharma glass packaging forum” on the 25th of September 2024. This forum will delve into the latest advancements, regulatory updates and innovative solutions shaping the pharmaceutical glass packaging industry.
The forum will feature expert speakers from Glass Technology Services who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in mechanical testing methods, chemical durability, and glass analysis. Attendees can expect insightful discussions on failure analysis, quality assurance, glass properties and environmental considerations in pharmaceutical packaging.
With USP changing its definition of a Type 1 glass, and PDA updating its classifications of defects in empty glass containers, these regulatory updates affect how pharmaceutical companies package their products in glass. This event provides attendees with a comprehensive understanding of these changes and how they influence packaging choices. Topics such as reducing glass waste, identifying delamination and optimising packaging processes will also be explored to help professionals stay ahead in the evolving landscape of pharma glass packaging.
