Want to know more about reducing the environmental impact of drug delivery devices? Then read on!
Drug delivery devices play an increasingly important role in supporting global health and wellbeing, and the need for them is predicted to increase substantially.
However, the current model for designing, producing, distributing and end-of-life processing of drug delivery devices results in missed opportunities to embed circularity and the principles of sustainability.
Without a collective commitment to sustainable practices, there is a risk that natural resources will beirrevocably depleted and it will become impossible to reduce carbon emissions and improve circularity.
We wanted to look at the issues around the production of drug delivery devices through a lens of environmental sustainability. Our new paper provides you with:
• an overview of the current state
• examines the challenges and opportunities for improvement
• recommends potential solutions and strategies
• discusses the importance of having access to data.
It aims to establish an industry consensus on the need for a holistic, total value-chain approach to measuring the environmental impact of drug delivery devices.
