A study published in the Journal of Cleaner Production decrees that the pharmaceutical industry is among the most polluting sectors in the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

The pharmaceutical sector has a very serious environmental impact, much heavier than other industrial giants such as \"\"<\/a>automotive and zootechnical<\/p>\n

The study<\/a> published on journal<\/em> of Cleaner Production<\/em> goes into detail on the greenhouse gas emissions that this industry emits into the environment.<\/p>\n

There are over two hundred pharmaceutical industries that hold the global market but only 25 have consistently provided data on emissions.<\/p>\n

Pharmaceutical industry: pollution for every million earned<\/h2>\n

Lotfi Belkhir and Ahmed Elmeligi are the two researchers from Canadian McMaster University who conducted the study.<\/p>\n

The results are truly incredible. The researchers calculated how many tons of CO2 are emitted by industries for every million earned.<\/p>\n

The pharmaceutical industry leads the way with an average of 48.55 tonnes of CO2 since 2015. The figure is staggering when compared to other industries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In fact, the pharmaceutical industry emits 55 percent more greenhouse gases than the automotive industry, which averages 31.4 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere for every million dollars it earns.<\/p>\n

Alarming figure given that the market value of the pharmaceutical sector is 28% lower than that
\nautomotive but pollutes<\/a> the 13% more.<\/p>\n

The tons of greenhouse gases emitted were calculated by evaluating both direct and indirect emissions, i.e. generated by purchased electricity.<\/p>\n

There is a pharmaceutical multinational that leads the ranking of the most polluting ones in 2015 and it is Bayer with a total of 9.7 million CO2 compared to 51.4 billion dollars in turnover.<\/p>\n

The German giant has therefore emitted 189 tons of CO2 for every million earned. Another giant of the pharmaceutical industry, Roche, has issued 14 for every million earned.<\/p>\n

The researchers conclude by stating that if large multinational pharmaceutical companies are to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, they must reduce emissions by 59% by 2025.<\/p>\n
