IPEC Europe will be at CPhI Worldwide in Frankfurt on 28-30 October 2025 and will be discussing the "Challenges to the Sustained Availability of Excipients" in a panel session hosted on 29 October, 11:35-12:20 in Hall 12.1 - theatre "Future of Pharma & Ingredients".

Ensuring the sustained availability of excipients is becoming increasingly complex due to evolving regulations, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the pressing demand for sustainable solutions. This panel will explore critical challenges and opportunities for securing the long-term availability of excipients across industries.

Key discussion points include:

• How shifting legislation, particularly in other sectors, is limiting excipient options, such as restrictions on recycled plastics for food-grade applications.
• The growing need for novel excipients to meet evolving industry requirements while maintaining safety and efficacy.
• Best practices for fortifying supply chains against disruptions and ensuring consistent availability.
• Exploring how green practices can be effectively incorporated into excipient production and supply, balancing innovation with environmental responsibility.
