Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packing Sourcer
|
Emissions control has long been an important management issue for pharmaceutical manufacturers in Europe and beyond, but emerging legislation implemented throughout EU member states is forcing the industry to take a closer look at abatement technologies in search of solutions which will ensure compliance not just now, but in the future too.
Legislation puts Focus on Solvent Recovery
The manufacture of pharmaceutical products is reliant on a number of organic solvents, producing emissions in a number of process areas - from reactor vents to storage tanks and vacuum pumps. Dichloromethane, methanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, toluene, xylene, triethylamine, tetrahydrofurane, butyl acetate and isopropanol are among the VOCs regularly used by pharmaceutical manufacturers and legislation is limiting these emissions year on year. Industrial emissions to the atmosphere first became a focus of environmental regulation with the introduction of the Clean Air Act in 1993. Since then increasing concern about the effect of air pollutants on the environment has led to the development of the UK's National Air Quality Strategy, setting targets which are to be achieved by 2005.

Driving ROI: The Case for Investing in Contract & Site Regulatory Document Management Services
DrugDev
With tight timelines and complicated regulatory documentation requirements, getting a clinical trial up and running quickly is easier said than done. Key milestones can be achieved only after the successful negotiation of clinical trial agreements and completion of essential regulatory documents. Many clinical trials are hindered by inefficient, labor-intensive processes. Prolonged, inefficient activation can hamper investigator satisfaction and, ultimately, have a negative bottom-line impact for sponsors and CROs. In addition, the Sunshine Act is heightening the importance of financial disclosure in clinical trials. Without a robust financial disclosure strategy, sponsors cannot ensure that physician self-reported financial disclosure data are aligned with the payment data being reported through the Sunshine Act, increasing financial and regulatory risk.
