However, they also make up a significant portion of laboratory waste\u2014both in terms of volume and environmental impact.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2589004221010828\"> As the industry increasingly prioritizes green chemistry and sustainability<\/a>, solvent recovery at the lab scale is emerging as a powerful opportunity to reduce waste, lower costs, and improve process efficiency.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"984\" data-end=\"1288\">At the heart of this transformation lies a piece of equipment many researchers already rely on: the glass reactor. When paired with proper distillation modules, glass reactors become not just synthesis vessels but also highly effective tools for solvent recycling and recovery\u2014right at the bench level.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1559\">Therefore, this article explores how to integrate lab-scale distillation into pharmaceutical R&amp;D workflows using glass reactor systems.
