“Growing Emphasis on Green and Sustainable Solvents in the European Pharmaceutical Sector”
- A key trend shaping the Europe pharmaceutical solvent market is the rising demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable solvents driven by stricter environmental regulations and corporate sustainability goals.
- This shift encourages the use of bio-based and low-toxicity solvents that reduce hazardous waste and enhance worker safety during drug formulation and manufacturing
- For instance, green solvents like ethyl lactate and supercritical CO₂ are increasingly being adopted as safer alternatives to conventional petrochemical-based solvents in pharmaceutical synthesis and extraction processes.
- This trend is transforming solvent selection strategies, promoting cleaner production practices, and boosting the demand for sustainable solvent technologies across the European pharmaceutical industry
