Klöckner Pentaplast (kp), a global expert in sustainable protective packaging, is proud to announce the launch of kpNext® MDR1, a new medical device packaging film that expands its kpNext® brand beyond pharmaceutical blister films and into the medical device sector. This breakthrough product is designed to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging options in healthcare packaging.

kpNext® MDR1 delivers the same, best-in-class performance as traditional medical device packaging films, including equivalent clarity, device protection, and ease of processing. As a designed for recyclability film, it also reinforces kp’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, while providing an innovative packaging solution tailored specifically for medical devices.

“The introduction of kpNext® MDR1 marks a significant milestone for kp as we expand our kpNext® family of products into the medical device market,” said Cameron Smith, Global Product Line Manager for Medical Device Films at kp. “This new film allows healthcare providers to prioritize sustainability, without compromising on the quality or performance of their packaging materials.”

This expansion into medical device films follows kp’s recent launch of SecondLife® MD, another groundbreaking Medical Device film made with 50% certified recycled content. Together, kpNext® MDR1 and SecondLife® MD offer healthcare providers a comprehensive range of sustainable packaging solutions that address different needs, from recyclability to the incorporation of recycled materials, solidifying kp’s role as an innovator in sustainable healthcare packaging.

kpNext® MDR1 film is designed to be compatible with existing packaging lines, eliminating the need for costly retooling, and is designed to be fully recyclable in the RIC 1 stream. Its design reflects kp’s mission to innovate products that address the evolving needs of the healthcare industry, particularly as sustainability becomes an increasingly important focus.

Kirstin Hedin, Vice President of Product Line Management & Marketing, added, “kpNext® MDR1 is a testament to kp’s leadership in sustainable innovation. We’re excited to provide the medical device industry with a film that not only delivers superior performance but also aligns with global sustainability goals.”
