Abstract

Green chemistry, focused on sustainable design and production of chemicals, aligns with global efforts to mitigate environmental harm and promote resource efficiency. Regulatory considerations are crucial in advancing green chemistry practices and minimizing environmental impact. Key regulatory frameworks such as the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in the United States and the Submission, Assessment, Approval and Limitation of Chemicals (REACH) in Europe mandate assessment and management of chemical risks. These regulations drive innovation by encouraging the substitution of hazardous substances with safer alternatives and promoting sustainable processes. Compliance with regulatory standards not only ensures environmental protection but also fosters industry competitiveness and supports public health goals. This research article underscores Implementation of Green Chemistry in Indian Pharmaceutical Companies through a survey done through Questionnaire to be filled by employees of various Pharma Industries across India on issues related to on questions related to Environmental/sustainability goals and targets, Use of green chemistry, Barriers to greater adoption of GC by Indian pharmaceutical companies, External GC collaborations, Use of GC resources by Indian pharmaceutical companies, Use of green chemistry metrics by Indian pharmaceutical companies, Reported stage of the waste management hierarchy. From analysis we found it is satisfactory and also that this requires a further in-depth investigation.
