We design packaging to protect patients
and the world they live in.

Designed to Protect

At Oliver, we help to protect patients through carefully packaged medical devices. Our commitment does not end there. It extends beyond just packaging.

Proven to Protect

We don’t just talk the sustainability talk. Whenever possible, we make design choices with sustainability in mind. And it shows in our results.

NEW! Recyclable Pouches

Our new recyclable films – LF-2035AVR and UF-2050AVR – were developed with recyclability in mind. By using all polyolefin, when the pouch configuration is sealed to Tyvek® or itself, the entire packaging solution can be recycled without the need for separation.

AAA Certified by the Institute cyclos-HTP Recyclability of Packaging Material Group.

DISPOS-A-VENT POUCHES

Our award-winning Dispos-a-vent barrier pouch eliminates the need for double packaging by incorporating a Tyvek® strip into a high-barrier foil pouch, resulting in a packaged device that can be sterilized while maintaining superior barrier properities. This unique package improves efficiencies, reduces costs, and eliminates unnecessary material waste.

RECYCLING PILOT FOR NON-HAZARDOUS MEDICAL PLASTIC WASTE

The objective of this medical plastic waste recycling pilot is to identify barriers to increasing non-hazardous medical plastic recycling rates at healthcare providers. Only a small percentage of plastics are recycled today. Plastic recycling at hospitals is less than 10%, which fills landfills, wastes natural resources, and increases carbon emissions.
