Minimizing API Environmental Impact: Green Chemistry and Engineering Innovations in Pharma for a Sustainable Future

Green chemistry and engineering offer a path to sustainable processes, materials, and products that align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In pharmaceuticals, a significant portion of the environmental impact, especially carbon footprint, comes from producing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). Successful adoption of green chemistry principles and metrics is shown to significantly reduce this impact resulting in tangible triple-bottom line benefits. The ACS Green Chemistry Institute (GCI) has a unique collaboration with the pharma industry and its supply chain to change the way chemistry is done by catalyzing tangible green chemistry and engineering innovations that translate into more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable chemical processes. Join us to learn:

• Why API chemistry should be the cornerstone of sustainability strategies

• What green chemistry metrics and tools are available to optimize processes

• How the ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable encourages innovation and recognizes outstanding achievements in the global adoption of green chemistry
