North America’s leading prescription vial and bottle solutions
Unlike other vial solutions, our environmentally friendly and industry-leading Centor Screw-Loc® and 1-Clic® systems pass moisture and light-resistance tests for all child-resistant offerings, are compatible with pharmacy automation technology, and feature customizable closures with direct-print brand messaging for your pharmacy.
Our Centor 100% recycled oval bottles are also “light and tight”. These bottles are made from food-grade recycled PET resin that can be recycled again - further contributing to a lower ecological footprint.
4 Reasons Our Centor Products Are More Sustainable
1. Product Eco-Design
Vials and bottles are produced at facilities with 100% low-carbon electricity and zero scrap to waste – all scrap is recycled.
Products themselves are fully recyclable polypropylene or post-consumer recycled PET and USP-671 certified for moisture and light resistance.
2. Optimized Packaging
Optimized 1-Clic packaging that uses one poly liner for closures instead of multiple bags, resulting in significant materials reduction:
- Cartons – 450,000 cases
- Labels – 450,000 labels
- Foil – 450,000 feet
- Tape – 45,000 yard
- Other – pallets and slip sheets
3. Waste Elimination
Centor worked with a mechanical recycler to eliminate 3 tons of PET banding from landfills by addressing all recycling concerns.
4. Transportation
Centor reduced total shipments while shipping the same volume of product. This saved 93.6 tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2021 – that’s equivalent to over 20 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year.
