Introducing the carbon footprint reduction index (CaFRI) as a software-supported tool for greener laboratories in chemical analysis by Fotouh R. Mansour, Paweł Mateusz Nowak

“…Case studies using techniques such as spectrophotometry for polidocanol in ampoules, dispersive solid phase microextraction with HPLC/UV for ritonavir in human plasma, carbon quantum dots for molnupiravir in capsules, and homogenous liquid-liquid microextraction with HPLC/UV for favipiravir in human plasma demonstrated CaFRI’s applicability in evaluating the carbon footprint across diverse analytical methods and matrices. These case studies illustrated that energy consumption and CO2 emissions are key criteria for CaFRI scores, with higher scores indicating more sustainable methods.…”
