This book under review deals with the important aspect of managing health care waste and its influence on the environment. It provides a fluidic view of current production practices, the source, effects and management of waste through aptly phrased ‘sustainable pharmacy’, and through policy regulations and risk assessment. The book also provides a systematic approach that can help in developing the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda through effectively monitoring and managing pharma waste. In all countries across the world health care is a major sector that is growing with a large consumer base, and countries like India need to assess the risk due to existing conditions and manufacturing technologies and supply chain mismanagement. Consumers are the most affected due to either mismanaged availability of pharma products or being illiterate to understand the effects of bioactive compounds that may affect the environment and humans.
