Interactions of multiple metrics and environmental indicators to assess processes, detect environmental hotspots, and guide future development

Abstract

The sustainable development in pharmaceutical industries relies on the selection and integration of detailed, unified metrics and indicators. This is particularly important when addressing environmental hotspots, with assessments ideally conducted early in process development. Facing the challenge of data availability, data acquisition, or data accuracy, we propose a simple and standardized procedure to assess and report the environmental footprints of linear and convergent chemical processes. The output focuses on data representation and decision taking making it easier to communicate in cross-functional environments.
