SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF GREENER PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS AND EXCIPIENTS

Abstract

The pharmaceutical business and its worldwide supply chain play a significant part  in the healthcare system, but it also has notable repercussions for the environment.  Drug manufacture and transportation are major factors to the pharmaceutical industry’s carbon footprint. Like other manufacturing sectors, the pharmaceutical  business contributes improve the sustainability of its operations. The current review  focuses on sustainable strategies of pharmaceutical companies in order to achieve the  greener goals. The field of chemistry known as “green chemistry,” often called  “sustainable chemistry,” focuses on designing and improving goods and processes to  reduce or eliminate the usage and production of hazardous materials. Sustainable hazardous waste management is critical for a safe, clean, and environmentally friendly environment and public health. The paper reviews newly developed  management approaches, waste-to-energy conversion processes, and treatment  technologies, as well as their applicability, advantages, and limitations. The extensive  analysis presented in this article will assist in the formulation of cost-effective and  environmentally friendly long-term development goals, as well as a number of  projects to improve the pharmaceutical industry.
