Comments Off GreenBioPharma 2010 is the first conference that explores the entire range of possibilities and technologies available for sustainable life science organizations. The conference will focus not only on tools and methods, but on the economic rationale for their implementation. Presenters from leading pharma/biotech companies will focus on what has worked for them and how you can apply these strategies as your pharmaceutical or biotechnology facility evolves toward sustainability.
Biotechnology and pharmaceutical professionals who want to learn more about designing, operating, and maintaining sustainable laboratory and manufacturing facilities will not want to miss this event. Roundtable panel discussions each day will present a broad range of perspectives and experiences and provide an opportunity to share information and ask questions.
Topics Include:
- Green facilities: reduced carbon footprint, conservation of electrical and heating energy, waste reduction, materials recycling, water conservation and recycling, vendor/purchasing strategies for minimizing waste and maximizing reuse, and environmental health
- Green laboratories: solvent substitution and minimization, solvent recycling, green analytical chromatography, rapid and solvent-sparing methods
- Green manufacturing: biocatalysis and chiral reagents, process design for sustainability, process intensification and optimization to reduce and streamline manufacturing steps, strategies for conserving buffer, high-quality water generation and management, the role of disposable bioprocess equipment in a sustainable bioprocess facility
- “Green” business strategies: Leveraging sustainability to create business value and increase profitability, reducing operating and disposal costs, minimizing cost-of-goods, building for long-term sustainability
