Abstract
The pharmaceutical sector is increasingly employing sustainable strategies to combat its environmental impact through the implementation of green chemistry and engineering practices. As regulatory requirements become more stringent and the drive towards sustainable chemical manufacture continues, new process methods and technologies are rapidly being developed with continuous flow at the forefront. This review highlights recent publications where continuous flow was adopted as a driver for sustainability with green metrics discussed.
