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.

The installed capacity of photovoltaic solar energy is on the rise, which will lead to significant amounts of end-of-life solar panels in the future. It is estimated that at least 60 million tons of solar panel waste will be generated by the year 2050. This waste may contain hazardous substances and improper disposal results in environmental pollution. Several countries have adopted standardized waste leaching regulations to assist in the management of this waste. This review addresses the environmental risks of photovoltaic panel waste. It was found that most of the articles refer to Si-c panels with Pb release above the tolerance limits. Another finding was that the standard widely used in the published works is the American.

Rare earth (RE) permanent magnets are essential components for successful green and digital transition. This paper extensively reviews the properties, recycling potential, and critical raw material state-of-the-art recycling technologies of waste permanent NdFeB magnets (containing about 15–30 wt% REE with high economic value). It also discusses different recycling techniques' fundamentals, benefits, and drawbacks, including pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, electrochemistry, direct recycling, and hybrid processes. This has led to the prospecting of the future development direction of NdFeB waste recycling and the presentation of the research idea of avoiding the drawbacks of individual recycling methods through a combined process. Low energy consumption, minimal environmental risks, and a closed-loop system are suggested to be the three primary objectives of the recycling process.
