As a sector, the pharmaceutical industry’s carbon emissions are even greater than that of the automotive industry - in the region of 55% more emission intensive. Drug delivery devices and the primary and secondary packaging account for a proportion of the CO2 emissions of combination products based on their design. The urgency of action required for global GHG emissions reduction means that parenteral packaging suppliers cannot work in isolation if they are to reach these GHG reduction goals. The Alliance to Zero was established to directly address this issue, by adopting the principles of the circular economy to facilitate the transition of the pharma sector to net zero emissions by 2030. This webcast will introduce the ambition of the Alliance of Zero, explain the methodology and impact the association intends to have and how pharma suppliers can participate.

Understand the objectives of the Alliance to Zero, as a membership association for pharma supply chain organizations.

Learn more about what a net zero emission concept for pharmaceutical manufacturing and supply chain would look like and the steps necessary to achieve it.

Understand how pharma suppliers can participate in the alliance and share the common goals to contribute directly to the reduction the scope 3 emissions for pharma clients.

Pandemic Preparedness: Ensuring a Robust Parenteral Packaging Supply Chain 

http://www.pharmtech.com/pt_w/design_principles


	Parenteral drug developers are faced with multiple challenges when it comes to packaging drug products; one of the most critical is protecting the drug product from particulate matter. Particulates pose a risk to the overall quality and effectiveness of the drug, causing contaminated products to be discarded during manufacturing, or, in a worst-case scenario, during a recall event. To prevent these costly scenarios, it is imperative that measures are put into place to analyze, quantify, and mitigate particulate matter in drug product packaging.

	This webcast will include a discussion of the following:

		Common concerns in the industry, specifically regarding particulate matter in parenteral packaging

		Quality principles and how they are applied to the analysis and quantification of particulate matter

		How to implement processes in the design, manufacturing, and testing of parenteral packaging to mitigate the risk of particulate exposure

		Understand the risks that face the pharmaceutical industry today regarding particulate matter

		Introduce the quality principles used to analyze and quantify particulate matter

		Review key findings and best practices for identifying and reducing particulate matter in parenteral packaging
