Aptar's First Nasal Pump Made with 52% Bio-based Material* now Available with Haleon's Otrivin® Brand
The Freepod® nasal spray pump, globally used with the Otrivin® brand, is now made from 52% bio-based feedstock CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill., July 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aptar Pharma, a global leader in drug delivery and active material science solutions and services, is proud to announce that its Freepod® nasal spray pump - one of the delivery systems for Haleon's Otrivin® brand - is now made with mass balance bio-based resins. This is the first Aptar delivery system using such materials to be commercialized globally. The use of more sustainable renewable plastic resources is a meaningful measure to help reduce the use of fossil-based materials in healthcare primary packaging. Reinforcing circularity in pharmaceutical packaging Aptar Pharma's Freepod® spray pump used with Haleon's Otrivin® Nasal Spray is made of 52% ISCC Plus certified bio-based feedstock. The bottle is produced using a mass balance approach equivalent to 100% bio-based content. Together, the pump and bottle components result in an overall circular material content of 60% for the full nasal spray device. ISCC PLUS certified manufacturing and supply chain Aptar Pharma is committed to helping its customers meet their sustainability goals, such as reducing the use of fossil-based materials in packaging. The Freepod® nasal spray components are made from bio-based resins derived from renewable feedstocks like bio-waste and residual oils, using an ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance approach. The Aptar Pharma manufacturing site in Mezzovico, Switzerland, is ISCC PLUS certified, ensuring full traceability of materials throughout the manufacturing process and supply chain. ISCC Plus certification also covers all external suppliers - including injection molding providers, service partners, and warehouses - guaranteeing a fully (ISCC) certified supply chain for the Freepod® components. Partnership for a more sustainable approach The joint sustainability approach between Haleon (formerly GSK Consumer Healthcare) and Aptar Pharma is built on a long-term partnership spanning over 30 years. This collaboration has led to significant achievements, including the Otrivin® Freepod® winning the World Packaging Award in 2019 for its innovative and sustainable design. The use of bio-based or renewable feedstocks for the Otrivin® products with Freepod® technology supports Haleon's goal to reduce virgin petroleum-based plastic use by 10% by 2025** and by a third by 2030, compared to 2022 levels. Aptar Pharma's Freepod® for Otrivin®, available globally, demonstrates Aptar's commitment to sustainability and innovation. Looking ahead, this collaboration is anticipated to extend to Otrivin Nasal Mist, Haleon's latest microdroplet technology, which is being rolled out globally since 2023. "At Aptar, sustainability is not just a responsibility - it's a strategic advantage," commented Gael Touya, President of Aptar Pharma. "The launch of Freepod® Futurity™ reflects our commitment to developing solutions that respond to consumers' increasing demand for more sustainable healthcare delivery technologies. As a trusted partner to Haleon, we are proud to help drive the success of the Otrivin® brand while enabling a shift away from fossil-based materials in primary packaging.

Jason Voorhees Officially Cast In 'Crystal Lake' Series
The Friday the 13th franchise is being rejuvenated under the Jason Universe label. One of the new projects coming from the label includes the television series Crystal Lake produced by A24 for release on Peacock. The new series stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees and, excitingly enough, an actor has just been cast to portray franchise antagonist Jason Voorhees in Crystal Lake . The iconic hockey mask wearing killer wasn't introduced as an antagonist until Part 2 , and he didn't even get his trademark mask until Part 3 , but fans have been a fan of Jason for decades. Since 2009, fans have been waiting for his return, and now it will happen in the upcoming television series that aims to tell the backstory of Jason and, perhaps more importantly, his mother who never really got her due beyond the original 1980 movie. Now, as shared via Deadline, we know who will be portraying Jason Voorhees in this new venture: 'A new Jason Voorhees has joined the Friday the 13th universe, as Callum Vinson ( Chucky , Long Bright River ) boards Peacock's prequel series Crystal Lake from A24.' As such, Vinson has gone from fighting against Chucky in the third season of the series of the same name to now playing fellow horror icon Jason Voorhees. Vinson is described as a 'recurring guest star,' with most of the show's focus being placed on Pamela Voorhees. Nevertheless, fans are definitely eager to see how Vinson plays the role and what this means for Jason's character. Fans have never seen much of Jason's youth, and without much ability for the character to speak or express himself in the original film series, there is still very little known about Jason or what thoughts he may have behind his mask outside of the love he has for his mother. Crystal Lake has the potential to shed some light on the character and expand his role in the franchise – though that will no doubt require some heavy acceptance from fans that never expected to see Jason portrayed in such a way. Additionally, several other characters from the original film have also been recast for this prequel. This includes Nick Cordileone as Ralph, Phoenix Parnevik as Barry, and Danielle Kotch as Claudette. Joy Suprano has also joined the series as the new character Rita. Fans will recall Ralph as an older recluse in the original two Friday the 13th films, nicknamed Crazy Ralph by the locals, while Barry and Claudette were Pamela's first victims in the opening of Friday the 13th set not long after Jason's drowning. Now that Crystal Lake is in production – we'll likely continue to get major updates regarding the series and the franchise's future including Jason Voorhees and the Jason Universe. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for more updates as we have them.

FRIDAY THE 13TH Prequel Series Casts Callum Vinson as Jason Voorhees, Adds 4 More Recurring Stars — GeekTyrant
Peacock's highly anticipated Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake has officially added five new recurring guest stars to its cast. Leading the new additions is Callum Vinson ( Chucky, Long Bright River ), who will take on the role of a young Jason Voorhees. Vinson joins previously announced series lead Linda Cardellini, who stars as Jason's mother, Pamela Voorhees. The prequel will explore Pamela's life before the bloody events that launched one of horror's most iconic franchises. Alongside Vinson, the recurring cast now includes Nick Cordileone ( Warrior ) as Ralph, Joy Suprano ( Fleishman Is in Trouble, Best Foot Forward ) as Rita, Danielle Kotch ( Director's Cut ) as Claudette, and Phoenix Parnevik ( Bel-Air, Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter Is Dead ) as Barry. They join series regulars William Catlett, Devin Kessler, Cameron Scoggins, and Gwendolyn Sundstrom. Plot details remain tightly under wraps, but fans can expect the show to dive deep into Pamela's backstory and the origins of Camp Crystal Lake. Brad Caleb Kane serves as creator, writer, showrunner, and executive producer. A24 is producing, with original Friday the 13th screenwriter Victor Miller returning as an executive producer alongside Marc Toberoff, Robert M. Barsamian, Robert P. Barsamian, Stuart Manashil, and Tyson Bidner. Michael Lennox will executive produce and direct the first three episodes, while Celine Hind and Logan George handle episodes four through six, and Quyen Tran directs episodes seven and eight. Crystal Lake was given a straight-to-series order by Peacock in 2022. With A24 behind the project and this growing cast, expectations are high for a chilling dive into the dark roots of one of horror's most infamous legends.
