Carbon Footprint Assessment of Orion's Dry Powder Inhalers

Orion conducted a carbon footprint assessment (Life Cycle Assessment, LCA) for the whole Easyhaler® product range in 2023 (1).  This is a continuation for the initial LCA made in 2019 (2) for four Easyhaler products and the previous LCA for all six Easyhaler® products conducted in 2021 (3).  According to the newest assessment, the average carbon footprint of one inhaler is 0.547 kg CO2e. (1) When considering the climate impact of inhalation therapy, dry powder inhalers have a low carbon footprint. (4)
