Sustainability in clinical trials

Clinical trials are essential for bringing new medicines and therapies to market, but they can also have a significant environmental impact. As patients, regulators, and investors increasingly demand sustainable practices, pharmaceutical companies are exploring ways to make clinical trials more sustainable. Learn how Clinichain believes this sustainability agenda can be met.

Section 1: Sustainable materials and supplies

  • Sustainable sourcing: We ensure that the materials used in our clinical trials are sustainably sourced, reducing the environmental impact of our operations and promoting ethical and responsible supply chain management.
  • Green chemistry: Our researchers use green chemistry principles to develop more sustainable drug molecules and materials, using safer and more efficient chemical processes, reducing waste, and using renewable feedstocks.

Our extensive global network allows us to provide efficient and budget-friendly delivery services that cater to all research types, including centralized, decentralized, and connected clinical trials.

Section 2: Sustainable equipment and devices

  • Energy-efficient devices: We use energy-efficient devices in our clinical trials, reducing energy consumption and lowering our carbon footprint.
    Sustainable equipment: We source sustainable and eco-friendly equipment for our studies, ensuring that our operations are environmentally responsible.
  • Equipment waste reduction: We aim to reduce the amount of equipment waste generated during clinical trials, by implementing sustainable practices for equipment disposal and encouraging equipment reuse and repurposing.

Section 3: Efficient packaging and logistics

  • Reduced packaging: We are working to reduce the amount of packaging used for clinical materials and supplies, lowering transportation costs, and emissions.
  • Sustainable logistics: We use more sustainable modes of transportation, optimize delivery routes, and reduce packaging to lower the environmental impact of our logistics operations. For a sustainable solution, consider local sourcing instead of centralized shipments all over the world.

Section 4: Responsible disposal

  • Proper disposal: During the clinical trial we are responsible for the proper disposal of clinical materials, supplies, and equipment at the end of their lifecycle, properly disposing of hazardous waste, and ensuring that materials and equipment are recycled or reused whenever possible.
  • Equipment monitoring: We monitor the lifecycle of our equipment, from procurement to disposal, to ensure that we are meeting our sustainability goals and minimizing our environmental impact.

Conclusion

By adopting sustainable practices in clinical trials, we are not only reducing our environmental impact but also improving the ethical and social responsibility of our business. Sustainability in clinical trials is no longer a nice-to-have, it is a must-have for pharmaceutical companies that want to meet the demands of regulators, investors, and patients while creating a better world for future generations.
