Expanding Sustainable Adherence Packaging
Jones Healthcare Group and good natured® are Transforming Canada’s Pharmaceutical Industry With Innovative Plant-based Packaging
Jones Healthcare Group (“Jones”), a market leader in advanced packaging and medication dispensing solutions, and good natured Products Inc. ( “good natured®”) (TSX-V: GDNP), a North American leader in earth-friendly plant-based products, are pleased to announce a new partnership focused on expanding sustainable packaging solutions. Jones’ medication adherence packaging products will now be made with good natured® Bio-PET, a food-safe, curbside recyclable bioplastic.
This new plant-based solution allows Jones to optimize its package design, removes chemicals of concern and ensures its packaging is readily recyclable in most households across North America. This new custom-designed blister material for adherence packaging will be available through independent and national pharmacy chains throughout Canada.

Two of our FlexRx™ blisters: 7-Day FlexRx™ and FlexRx™ Light 14-Gauge Clear Blister With Hooks and 7-Day FlexRx™ and FlexRx™ Light 14-Gauge Clear Blister Without Hooks are among the first applications.
Other Product Sustainability Highlights
We offer a range of sustainable products and services to our customers and in partnership with our suppliers.
In addition to sourcing fibre for paperboard sustainably, we also offer plastic adherence packaging options that are fully recyclable with PET blisters and polypropylene seals that can be separated for recycling.
We've invested in the latest pharmacy laser label print and manufacturing technology to reduce waste and total environmental footprint. We use water-based inks, which do not release toxins such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere. Both facestock and paper elements of our laser labels are FSC®-certified.
Centor Recycled Ovals are manufactured from 100% post-consumer, food grade recycled PET resin and meet the expectations of pharmacists and consumers who have shown a preference in using packaging manufactured from recycled materials.
We provide a wide variety of bags made from durable, recycled brown kraft paper. Recyclable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
