Supply Chain

Sustainability requires collective efforts from all of us to innovate in the face of declining natural resources. To this end, the ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable has created a Supply Chain focus team to strive to influence the vendors of raw materials and building blocks by promoting green chemistry innovations in this space. Currently, the team is taking the lead in several initiatives: 1) supporting the ACS GCIPR’s CMO Excellence in Green Chemistry Award selection; 2) hosting a regular vendor forum to build connections with CDMOs/CROs; and 3) holding regular symposiums and presentations to promote the green chemistry innovations.

Process Mass Intensity Life Cycle Assessment Tool

The PMI-LCA Tool is a high-level estimator of Process Mass Intensity (PMI) and environmental life cycle information that can be customized to fit a wide variety of linear and convergent processes for synthesis of small molecule active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). An ecoinvent dataset is utilized as the source of the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) data.
