Pfizer implemented green chemistry principles in one of its production lines to reduce waste and use safer chemicals. This included eliminating the use of solvents and reducing the number of production steps. Pfizer saw a 25% reduction in waste and expects similar reductions by applying these principles to other production lines. The document also includes a diagram explaining the waste stream from raw materials to final waste disposal.
