Two major directions of sustainable development of the pharmaceutical industry: green production, energy saving and environmental protection

[Pharmaceutical Network Exhibition Report] Forge ahead in the "14th Five-Year Plan" and move towards a new journey
.

The "14th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical period for China to further promote the construction of ecological civilization.
It is also a critical period for promoting high-quality economic development with high-level protection of the ecological environment, a window period for continuing to fight the tough battle of pollution prevention and control, and the achievement of carbon neutrality.
goals and important period for the goal of building a beautiful China
.

In response to the call of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the pharmaceutical industry needs to thoroughly implement the concepts of green production, energy conservation and environmental protection to achieve sustainable development of the industry

.

In recent years, the state has vigorously promoted the healthy development plan, including a series of favorable policies such as "Several Policies for Promoting the Accelerated Development of the Bio-industry", "Major New Drug Creation" Science and Technology Major Special Plan, etc.
, which have brought tremendous development to China's pharmaceutical enterprises opportunity
.

According to data from the Prospective Industry Research Institute, in 2020, the main business income of enterprises above designated size in the pharmaceutical industry was 2,614.
74 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.
0%; the total profit was 345.
70 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.
0%
.

At the same time, pharmaceutical companies have increased investment in innovation.
The growth rate of fixed asset investment in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry for the year was 8.
4%, an increase of 4.
4 percentage points year-on-year in 2019
.

 　　Opportunities are often accompanied by challenges.
The pharmaceutical industry has always been a high-polluting industry.
According to the classification standards, the pharmaceutical industry is divided into chemical raw materials, chemical preparations, biological preparations, Chinese patent medicines, medical equipment, sanitary materials, and Chinese herbal medicines.
Seven Large sub-industries, of which chemical raw materials and chemical preparations are the two sub-industries with a large proportion, and the pollution is also particularly serious
.

According to data from the China Business Industry Research Institute, the production of chemical raw materials has been increasing in recent years, and the output in 2020 will be 2.
734 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 2.
7%
.

With the continuous expansion of the output of API companies, the accompanying pollutants are also a big problem
.

 　　Generally speaking, the types of pollution mainly involved in the pharmaceutical industry include air pollution, water pollution, solid waste pollution, noise pollution,
etc.

If these pollutants are not treated up to standard, they will bring many negative impacts on the environment and restrict the sustainable development of the pharmaceutical industry
.

In recent years, in order to accelerate the development of the pharmaceutical industry in a green direction, relevant policies and measures have been continuously introduced
.

Among them, since the implementation of the new version of the "Environmental Protection Tax Law" in 2015, a large number of pharmaceutical and chemical companies have entered the red line of environmental protection and high pressure, forcing pharmaceutical companies to make strategic and management deployments in advance, and waste water, waste gas, solid waste and other pollutants.
Further exploration has been made in terms of reduction and resource utilization, and more attention has been paid to technological innovation, technological transformation and investment in environmental protection equipment
.

 　　At present, the concept of green production has continued to penetrate into the production process of pharmaceutical companies.
More and more pharmaceutical companies have built a clean, low-carbon and circular green manufacturing system by adhering to the "green-based" approach to create smart drugs in the era of pharmaceutical industry 4.
0.
factories and a green production chain covering the entire life cycle of pharmaceutical manufacturing
.

According to the notice of five batches of green manufacturing lists issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, a total of 115 pharmaceutical companies have been selected into the national green manufacturing list.
These pharmaceutical companies have been affirmed and encouraged in the process of promoting green pharmaceuticals and taking the road of sustainable development.
In addition to its own strength and charm, it will also have a good demonstration role for other companies, helping the entire pharmaceutical industry to accelerate the realization of a "win-win" situation of economic development and environmental protection, and win the battle to defend the blue sky
.

 　　Direction 2: Energy saving and environmental protection The pharmaceutical industry is also a major energy consumer.
In the era of the prevailing low-carbon economy, pharmaceutical companies shoulder important social responsibilities, and it is imperative to promote the innovation, application and development of energy-saving and environmental protection technologies
.

Energy saving in the pharmaceutical industry mainly refers to saving water, electricity and steam
.

 　　As far as the application status of energy-saving technologies in the pharmaceutical industry is concerned, taking electric energy as an example, the electric energy consumption of the pharmaceutical industry mainly comes from two aspects: power consumption and lighting power consumption.
of the common frequency motor to achieve
.

As for the saving of lighting power consumption, under the premise of meeting GMP standards, select the appropriate lighting method and reasonably select the lighting control method to achieve the purpose of reducing lighting energy consumption
.

 　　With the continuous advancement of energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection policies in China, the task of energy conservation and environmental protection in the pharmaceutical industry is still severe.
How to achieve the goal of energy conservation and environmental protection in the entire industry, technological innovation is the key
.

Taking screw machine as an example, domestic screw machine manufacturers are still pursuing the goal of more energy-saving products.
According to the current situation, even if the energy-saving of manufacturers can reach the level of 1%, it is already a big challenge
.

But its energy-saving road still needs to go
on.

At present, many domestic pharmaceutical equipment companies are keeping an eye on opportunities and strengthening investment in innovation.
While realizing product upgrades, they have also achieved rapid development of their own companies
.

 　　The 2021 World Environmental Protection Exhibition [International Environmental Protection Exhibition] will be held at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center (Hongqiao) from June 2 to 4
.

This exhibition covers 8 major environmental pollution control fields: comprehensive treatment, water, atmosphere, smart environmental protection, environmental monitoring, resource regeneration, soil, and noise.
It brings together more than 1,600 environmental companies and has an exhibition area of ​​150,000 square meters.
It has become a large-scale global exhibition.
The platform of the World Environmental Protection Expo
.

The online environmental technology exhibition hall launched at the same time on the platform will show you the new technologies of environmental protection engineering with application value in the fields of wastewater treatment, waste gas treatment, solid waste disposal, and environmental restoration
