From cross contamination to regulatory compliance, surface residues in #pharmaceutical cleanrooms matter. ▶️ In this video, Ecolab’s Matt Cokely explains why residue management is a vital consideration in your cleaning, disinfection, and #biodecontamination regime.

To mark the occasion of World Water Day, we released an animated video explaining how to dispose of pharmaceuticals correctly at home.💊 The video highlights the leading role health professionals can take in reducing pharmaceutical waste and avoiding pharmaceutical compounds entering water ecosystems.💧 To mitigate the environmental effects of pharmaceutical waste, we need to: ✅ Improve wastewater treatment methods   ✅ Dispose of household medication in a safe manner ✅ Involve pharmacists in guiding patients on safe disposal methods ✅ Implement take-back programmes at pharmacies for safe disposal of unused or expired medication ✅ Promote responsible prescription and purchasing practices ✅ Advocate for the use of greener medicines to minimise environmental impact #WorldWaterDay #pharmaceuticals #SustainableHealthcare #SaferPharma

Having a consistent and effective residue management program is critical to keeping #pharmaceutical products (and employees!) safe. Learn more in this video from one of our #Ecolab Global Technical Consultants, Matt Cokely.

What is the true #environmental cost of medication use? 🌎 Great preprint article detailing "the long journey of a benzodiazepine" from the beginning to the end of the medication journey: https://lnkd.in/gKy_x2rv Medication use involves: -Resource extraction & chemical production towards the active pharmaceutical ingredient and excipients -International shipping and distribution of ingredients for production and repackaging -Significant greenhouse gas emissions involved in international distribution -Pharmaceutical waste generation from medication over-packaging Another reason to #deprescribe!

WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES PHARMA PACKAGING DIFFERENT FROM MOST OTHER PACKAGING? The simple answer would be safety, but that would be too easy. Why are most medicines still not packed as sustainably as your average food product? Changing anything in pharma packaging, requires a new approval process, which not only takes a very long time, but also costs a lot of money. For this episode of Packaging Suppliers Global I interviewed Mark van der Burgt of Vetico about the challenges of pharma contract manufacturing and contract packing. Also, I spoke with Gianni Linssen of Ecobliss Pharmaceutical Packaging about the delicate balance between product safety and sustainability. Let's not forget that pharma packaging is your second physician, as I learned from the respected Chakravarthi AVPS some time ago.
