Lifecycle thinking

Synopsis

The NHS 2050 net zero target requires a fundamental rethink in most pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. While the benefits of single use systems are significant in sterile processing, the sourcing, manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal of the products ultimately results in an environmental impact. Taking a lifecycle view when re-designing our products is key to achieve net zero targets.

Calum will discuss the application of full life cycle assessments in reducing environmental impact while retaining the desired performance.
