Issues covered in the above resources.
Chemical and pharmaceutical companies have several environmental issues that can be addressed by resource efficiency. These include:
Cleaner design of chemicals, purchasing, materials storage and handling, materials processing and coating, product assembly, solvent reduction, packaging and returns, utilities, transport, re-use and recovery, target-setting, environmental management systems and minimising waste.
Green chemistry can address many of these issues. View the green chemistry page here.
