IPAC-RS ROUNDTABLES - 2022
IPAC-RS is hosting a new Roundtable series in 2022, supplementing the podium presentations held at the IPAC-RS/RDD Joint session that addressed Regulatory, Science and Technology Innovations Enabling Novel and Improved OINDP Design, Development and Manufacturing.
The second webinar in the series, Advancing Sustainability of Device and Container Closure Systems (Part I) is scheduled for Wednesday, November 30, 2022 at 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM US ET. Part II will take place in January 2023.
This virtual roundtable will bring together pharmaceutical industry and supply chain representatives to discuss emerging ideas and approaches to advance sustainability of device and container closure system (CCS) components. The roundtable aims to (i) describe and discuss what the industry is currently doing with respect to device and CCS sustainability for existing products, and (ii) start to identify goals and actions that the OINDP industry and its supply chain partners can achieve and drive regarding device and CCS sustainability, while continuing to advance the availability of high quality, safe and efficacious products to patients.
