Calculating the carbon footprint of medicines is complex. Using financial spend-based conversion factors can be an easy way to compare across medicines but is inaccurate and subject to variables such as inflation, patents, and NHS pricing. Medicines Carbon Footprint (MCF) Classifier 2.0 uses molecular weight and chemical structure to estimate the process mass intensity and global warming potential of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in small molecule medicines. It also takes into account the excipients and primary packaging. More information on MCF is available at https://www.yewmaker.com/mcf-classifier. We have used it as a practical way to estimate carbon savings, mindful of the fact that it doesn’t encompass all elements of the carbon footprint of a drug such as transport and is not yet validated in clinical decision making.
