Apricot Bioscience and its Manufacturing Partners has a significant role to play in ensuring environmental safety and responsibility. Here are some key areas we are focus on:
1. Waste Management: Our Manufacturers are Implementing efficient waste management systems to safely handle and dispose of pharmaceutical waste, including chemicals, solvents, and unused medications, to prevent environmental contamination.
2. Water Conservation: Our Manufacturing Partners are Adopting water-saving technologies and practices in manufacturing processes to reduce water usage and minimize the impact on local water resources.
3. Energy Efficiency: Our Manufacturers are Investing in energy-efficient equipment and technologies to reduce energy consumption in manufacturing facilities, thereby lowering greenhouse gas emissions and environmental footprint.
4. Green Chemistry: Our Manufacturing Partners are Embracing principles of green chemistry to develop pharmaceutical products using environmentally benign processes and raw materials, minimizing the generation of hazardous by-products.
5. Emissions Control: Installing pollution control equipment and monitoring systems to mitigate air emissions from manufacturing operations, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter.
6. Biodiversity Conservation: Implementing biodiversity conservation measures on company premises and supporting initiatives to protect and restore natural habitats in the surrounding areas.
7. Sustainable Sourcing: Ensuring responsible sourcing of raw materials, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients, by adhering to ethical and sustainable sourcing practices that minimize environmental impact and promote fair labor practices.
8. Community Engagement: Engaging with local communities to understand their environmental concerns and implementing initiatives to address them, such as tree planting campaigns, environmental education programs, or community clean-up drives.
9. Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to environmental regulations and standards set by regulatory authorities, such as the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in India, and proactively seeking ways to exceed compliance requirements.
10. Transparency and Reporting: Maintaining transparency in environmental practices and regularly reporting environmental performance metrics, including energy usage, water consumption, waste generation, and emissions, to stakeholders and regulatory bodies.
