By: Anne Shildrake, WTG The pharma industry has long sought to reduce costs through increased efficiency and productivity. More and more pharma companies are turning to green chemistry and its 12 principles as a new way to reduce costs as well as the more obvious benefits to the environment. There are even awards to be won for green chemistry.
