Summary

Japan presents a distinct opportunity for blister packaging due to a number of strong factors. This Asian country is notable for its highly developed manufacturing capabilities, strict quality and precision standards, and the governmental and cultural influences that determine its packaging preferences. Japan's reputation for dedication to accuracy and quality is well-earned. The Japanese market requires packaging solutions that guarantee the highest standards of quality and safety in addition to protecting the goods. As it can protect items from contamination and damage, blister packing is frequently preferred and fits in well with Japan's quality-focused philosophy. Japan has a very pronounced culture of loyalty and branding. Blister packaging is quite customizable and provides lots of room for promotional messaging, product details, and branding. Blister packing is a common tool used by manufacturers to increase brand recognition and establish a stronger connection with customers. Blister packing is particularly common in the pharmaceutical business, which is a substantial industry in Japan. Pharmaceutical tablets and capsules are best packaged individually in blister packs to ensure precise dosing and simple patient administration. The "Okusuri Sheet Recycle Programme," a programme to gather and recycle used medication blister packs, also known in Japan as Okusuri (Medicine) sheets or PTP (Press Through Pack) sheets, was launched by Terracycle Japan in collaboration with the Tokyo-based healthcare and pharmaceutical company Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare. The course runs from October 20, 2022, to September 30, 2023. Over the course of the trial, collecting boxes will be placed at participating places, commencing with drugstores and pharmacies in Yokohama's Naka Ward and Minato Red Cross Hospital. Residents and patients are invited to dispose of their used, empty blister packs, regardless of brand or prescription, in these boxes. Following the collection of empty blister packs, the aluminium backing and plastic blisters will be separated, with the plastic being converted into plastic pellets and the aluminium melted down and recycled.
