Ep. 23 From Waste to Watts: What Really Drives Biotech’s Carbon Footprint
Description
In this episode of The BioDisruptors Podcast, we explore what it really means to make biologics sustainable. We uncover surprising facts about where the biggest environmental impacts actually come from. It is not the plastic waste most people think of, but the electricity that powers clean rooms and HVAC systems, making up most of the footprint. We discuss how shortening process durations, increasing yields, and switching to renewable energy can dramatically lower emissions while also cutting costs. The conversation shows how sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand, creating a future where greener manufacturing also means greater access to life saving medicines.
