According to Kaylor Roberts from Zacros, Non Interactive Sigma is a “revolutionary polymer” from a company with a long history of multi-layer plastic lamination.

The problem with most plastics and pharmaceuticals is their interaction and reactivity. This includes leaching from the drug contact layer (plastics degrading) and extractables, which is the absorption of the active ingredients into the packaging materials.

Historically, glass has met the rigid criteria of offering a stable packaging platform for both liquid and lyophilized drugs that need to be mixed with water or reconstituted.  Glass, of course, is heavy, costly to ship and breakage is always an issue with logistics.
