A new certification scheme to promote responsible antibiotics manufacturing was launched in India by British Standards Institute (BSI) and AMR Industry Alliance.
The certification is the first of its kind, with a third-party validation process, to monitor environmental concerns in the antibiotic manufacturing process.
Responsible antibiotic production is critical to encouraging sustainable drug production.
This also addresses growing environmental concerns about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by limiting the release of antibiotic residues into waterways through industrial waste.
