SCALING GLP-1 DRUGS WITHOUT A MOUNTAIN OF WASTE

Matt Parker, Simon Lyons and Alex Lyness, look at how the continued success of glucagon-like peptide-1 drugs is bringing into focus the need for environmentally sustainable self-injection systems. They discuss whether reloadable autoinjectors could be the way to boost sustainability, lower cost per dose, and match the scale and rate of adoption of these new therapies.
