How Nylabone Cut Over 40 Tons of Plastic Waste by Eliminating Blister Packaging

Nylabone set out to eliminate hard-to-recycle blister packaging across its product lines¹, driven by sustainability goals and retailer pressure for more responsible materials. They sought to transition from traditional plastic blisters to FSC-certified mono-material paperboard formats made without plastic, without compromising durability, visibility, or retail performance. This required redesigning structures, reworking supply chains, and aligning cross-functional teams. The result: a scalable packaging solution that eliminated more than 40 tons of plastic², improved recyclability, maintained a strong brand presence, and ran efficiently on existing equipment. The redesigned package by TOPPAN was recognized with a 2025 AmeriStar Award for Sustainable Packaging, highlighting its combination of material reduction, recyclability, and operational performance.
