Implement Solvent Recycling Into Your Process To Reduce Waste And CO₂ Emissions

In recent years, sustainability has become a vital and ethical business goal across sectors. The pharmaceutical industry has long contributed to harmful CO₂ emissions in order to bring innovative therapies to patients. Now, in an industry-wide reckoning, drug sponsors and manufacturers are working to develop more sustainable processes and reduce their ecological footprints. At Lonza, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), sustainability has become a priority across workflows. One primary arm of this initiative is solvent recycling, which stands to significantly reduce emissions, waste, and raw material consumption.

In a recent webinar hosted by Lonza Small Molecules, Niklaus Künzle, Senior Director and Head of Global Process Technology and Innovation for Small Molecules, and Brian Schwegler, Associate Director for Thermal Separations and Sustainability from the Process Technology and Innovation Group, discussed the green impact of solvent recovery and Lonza’s strategies for implementing this process with clients.
