Overview

Dear Colleague,

We would like to invite you to the 2023 PDA Circular Economy in the Pharmaceutical Industry Workshop taking place on 16 October 2023 as a face-to-face event prior to the 2023 PDA Universe of Pre-Filled Syringes and Injection Devices Conference.

This day-long workshop will be a deep dive into the decarbonisation of injection devices through mapping and analysis of the supply chain followed by an interactive session on circularity, and then an examination of solutions and barriers to using circularity as a decarbonisation enabler. In addition, we will have presentations and opportunities for Q&A with colleagues and experts in the field of circularity and who are working on this topic directly. Please join us for this exciting, interactive and educational day.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Sincerely,
The Workshop Leader

Marion Briggs, HealthBeacon
