PRESERVING FUTURE EFFECTIVENESS OF ANTIBIOTICS VIA SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES AND CLEAN TECHNOLOGY

Workshop on sustainable pharmaceutical production held recently in Malaysia, jointly hosted by DSM Sinochem Pharmaceuticals (DSP) and the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 26 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- DSM Sinochem Pharmaceuticals (DSP), a global leader in sustainable production of antibiotics, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi hosted a Sustainability Through Excellence in Manufacturing (STEM) workshop on advanced, clean, sustainable manufacturing and quality techniques to share best practices with participants from leading pharmaceutical companies in Malaysia. The training and education session was attended by approximately 50 participants across the Manufacturing, R&D, Regulatory Affairs, Quality Control/Assurance and Purchasing sectors.

Factors that commonly contribute to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) include misuse and overuse of antibiotics, as well as rising industrial pollution, particularly pharmaceutical waste. The discharge of pharmaceutical waste into the environment containing antimicrobial activity can contribute to the growth of AMR, even during the production of these life-saving medicines, endangering their future efficacy. DSP recently organized similar awareness workshops on these issues with industry stakeholders in India, UAE, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia.
