Description: Advancing sustainability in pharmaceutical manufacturing involves several strategies: (1) responsible sourcing of raw materials, (2) process efficiency improvements, and (3) formulation approaches that reduce the environmental footprint of drug products and their production. Studies demonstrate that excipient selection and optimization can reduce the number of processing steps, improve powder handling and tableting efficiency, and shorten coating times. These improvements are associated with lower energy demand, reduced solvent use, and decreased overall resource consumption, supporting more sustainable approaches to drug product development and manufacturing.
