INTERVIEW

Interview with Bespak’s Louise Righton & Benedicta Bakpa

An increasing global incidence of respiratory diseases, such as asthma and COPD, is driving demand for therapies. Simultaneously, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, so the pharma industry must consider how to produce much-needed nasally delivered and orally inhaled medicines whilst minimising environmental impact. Louise Righton and Benedicta Bakpa discuss the many different aspects involved in driving sustainability in inhaled drug delivery – and the next steps.
