Environmental Factor Assessment Service

The environmental factor (EF) is the yardstick of green chemistry, accurately representing the ratio of waste to target product mass over the entire life cycle of a chemical substance. CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry eliminates the interference of water and utilizes EF to comprehensively assess the waste ratio of various chemicals and develop cleaner chemical processes.

Summary of Environmental Factors

The EF is an important indicator used to measure the amount of waste generated during the manufacturing of chemicals. It is defined as the ratio of the mass of all waste to the mass of the target product throughout the production of the product. This ratio reflects the proportion of substances (i.e., wastes) other than the target product that are generated during the chemical manufacturing process. The formula for the assessment of EF is:

Importance of Environmental Factors

Measurement of Environmental Impact

Reflects the degree of product failure in different environments.

Assisted Reliability Prediction

Provides critical data for product performance prediction.

Helping with Ecological Conservation

Understanding the effects of environmental change on organisms to guide conservation.

Assisted Reliability Prediction

Provides critical data for product performance prediction.

Green chemistry strives to reduce or eliminate the use or generation of toxic and hazardous substances in the design, manufacture, and use of chemicals. EF, an important indicator of waste generation, is closely linked to the goals of green chemistry. The reduction of EF can drive the development of green chemistry practices and lead to more environmentally friendly and sustainable production methods.

Our Professional Services

As a leading company focused on green chemistry, CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry helps clients develop more environmentally friendly and efficient manufacturing processes by evaluating EF.

  • Definition of Assessment Objectives

We define the specific objectives of the assessment, the product range, and the production process to meet the client's specific needs.

By understanding the characteristics of the chemical substances, the production process, and the waste treatment, we provide custom assessment solutions to ensure that the results are accurate and practical.

  • Data Collection and Analysis

We use specialized data collection tools and methods to collect comprehensive data on waste generation during the manufacturing process. This includes raw material inputs, by-product generation, reaction solvent use, auxiliary consumption, and various types of waste generated during product purification.

We use advanced chemical analysis techniques to analyze the collected data in detail to accurately calculate the values of EF.

  • Customized Assessment Report

After data collection and analysis, we prepare a detailed customized assessment report for clients. The report not only includes the calculation of EF but also an in-depth analysis of the sources and causes of waste generation, as well as possible improvement measures.

Applications

  • Chemical Production Optimization: Our EF assessment service can be used to help chemical companies pinpoint the sources of waste generation in production processes and optimize processes.
  • Pharmaceutical Improvement: For complex synthesis routes in the pharmaceutical industry, our EF assessment services can be used to reveal key steps in waste generation and develop more environmentally friendly production technologies.
  • Petrochemical Emission Reduction: Our EF assessment services can be used to help scientists identify by-products and unreacted substances in chemical production, thereby developing cleaner production environments.

Advantages

  • Our team consists of a group of experts with deep chemical backgrounds and professional knowledge, who possess not only an excellent theoretical foundation but also a wealth of practical experience to accurately understand clients' production processes and waste generation.
  • We accurately categorize wastes according to the nature and characteristics of the chemicals to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the environmental factor assessment results.
  • From the determination of assessment objectives, and the selection of data collection methods to the setting of assessment indicators, we fully consider the actual needs of the client to ensure that the assessment service can accurately match the characteristics and requirements of the client's production.

As a leading company focusing on green chemistry, CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry provides professional environmental factor assessment services. We always take a rigorous approach to ensure the accuracy and practicality of our assessment results. We welcome clients from all over the world to contact us at any time to discuss environmental factor assessment.
