    Pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises, especially chemical API enterprises, have a wide range of products, complex production processes, many types of raw materials, large quantities, low utilization rate of raw materials, so in recent years, with the continuous development and growth of the industry, its "three wastes" (waste liquid, waste gas, waste residue) are also causing more and more impact
    on human beings and the surrounding environment.
    Relevant data show that the total output value of China's pharmaceutical industry only accounts for about 3% of the national GDP, but the total pollution discharge has reached 6%.

    Based on this, the state is constantly strengthening pollution prevention and treatment
    .
    In recent years, it can be clearly found that many pharmaceutical companies have been investigated for environmental violations
    .
    According to incomplete statistics, in 2021, 17 pharmaceutical companies were fined more than 5.
    6 million yuan
    for environmental violations.

     
    Since 2022, many pharmaceutical companies have been fined
    on environmental protection issues.
    For example, on January 29, Xinhua Pharmaceutical was fined 121,000 yuan
    by the Zibo Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau for violating Article 18 of the Regulations on the Administration of Pollution Discharge Permits because the pollutant outlet was not included in the management of the pollution discharge permit.
    On February 9, he was fined 132,000 yuan
    by the Zibo Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau for inconsistent with the pollutant discharge permit because the pollutant discharge method and discharge destination were inconsistent with the pollution discharge permit.

     
    On April 25, Tianyao paid a fine
    of 300,000 yuan for exceeding the odor concentration of the exhaust cylinder of the sewage station (DA002) during the joint law enforcement monitoring carried out by the Tianjin Economic and Development Zone Ecological Environment Bureau and the Tianjin Binhai High-tech Zone Environmental Supervision Detachment.

     
    On May 19, Nanjing Jianyou Pharmaceutical Co.
    , Ltd.
    was fined 300,000 yuan
    by the Ecological Environment and Water Bureau of the Management Committee of Nanjing Jiangbei New Area for "exceeding the standard" in the concentration of methanol emissions in the workshop.
    Subsequently, on June 14, Guangdong Yishu Pharmaceutical Co.
    , Ltd.
    , a subsidiary of Zhongsheng Pharmaceutical, was also fined 250,000 yuan by relevant departments because the total phosphorus emission concentration of samples collected at the total wastewater outlet was 6.
    18mg/l, exceeding the standard by 12.
    36 times.
    .
    .

     
    From the above point of view, the industry believes that with the continuous deepening and implementation of the "dual carbon" goal, environmentally friendly and low-carbon production models and lifestyles are infiltrating into the pharmaceutical industry, and "green pharmaceutical" will become one of the keywords for the high-quality development of
    pharmaceutical enterprises.
    Affected by this, many pharmaceutical companies can only realize the road
    of symbiosis between development and environmental protection by actively fulfilling their social responsibilities, practicing the concept of green development, and accelerating the construction of "resource-saving and environment-friendly" modern pharmaceutical enterprises.

     
    It should be noted that pharmaceutical companies often need to invest a certain amount of investment to improve the level of environmental protection treatment, such as the purchase of environmental protection facilities, which often requires a large amount of money, which is difficult for many companies to bear.

    Therefore, at present, many people in the industry are pinning their hopes on the equipment industry, hoping that it will accelerate the technological revolution of production equipment and develop high-cost green production equipment to better help pharmaceutical companies complete low-carbon and environmentally friendly production work
    .

     
    According to the author's understanding, in fact, many domestic equipment manufacturers have already made continuous efforts
    in the field of environmental protection.
    For example, some pharmaceutical machine companies have launched a dual-effect energy-saving concentrator that can be applied to the concentration of traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, starch sugar, dairy and other liquid materials, due to the use of double-effect simultaneous evaporation, secondary steam can also be used, and the total energy consumption can be reduced by 40%
    compared with single-effect concentrators.
    Some companies have developed a new combined multi-effect water distiller; It is reported that this equipment can operate continuously for 240 days, saving 65%
    of energy in water saving, saving industrial steam and reducing the sewage pressure of enterprises.

     
    In general, as pharmaceutical companies pay more attention to pollution prevention and treatment, the equipment industry will usher in opportunities
    .
    It should be noted that it is not easy to achieve results in the field of energy conservation and environmental protection, pharmaceutical equipment companies also need to continuously strengthen R&D investment, create more high-cost environmental protection equipment, to help pharmaceutical companies save energy and environmental protection, and improve production efficiency and product quality
