The Environmental Impact of Disposable Technologies Can disposables reduce your facility's environmental footprint?

We have compared the environmental footprint of a traditional biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility using fixed-in-place stainless-steel equipment, and a facility implementing disposable technologies for cell culture, solution mixing and hold, product hold, and liquid transfer. We accounted for facility size, water consumption, energy use, and carbon emissions from all steps, including even steel manufacture, transporting plastics to and-from the facility, Plastic incineration, and employees driving to work.
