A Pharmaceutical Approach
Bristol-Myers Squibb - Process Greenness Scorecard
Integrating process greenness into a process as it is being developed is better than greening a process in the latter stages of development. An objective method for determining process greenness in a consistent manner was developed and implemented at BMS using a scorecard approach. The presentation will provide a brief history and evolution of the Process Greenness Scorecard used to evaluate processes and process changes. The basic functions and calculations will be described along with the parameters that are considered and the rationale for their selection. Some examples will be reviewed, and the Scorecard will be compared with the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.
