Propellant chosen by history rather than optimisation historical experiences and choices made by companies In mid 1990s
price differential and availability of supplyinitial performance of delivery systems/valvesIP web preventing free access to early formulations
Product optimisation now available as properties and understanding has increased
partnerships available for “proven” technologies and capabilities

Use of HFA 227 and HFA 134a in MDIs From Past and Present- into the future
Major technical challenge for entire industry
Redevelopment of valves, mouthpieces and devices > 10 yrs investment for most companies to reach new formulaMajor patent/IP “web” developed by most companies
Major process and equipment developmentsignificant capital and human resource investmentcritical skills in developing and industrialising productscompetitive barrier to many competitors and high entry price

Are HFAs going to be phased-out in MDIs ?
Phase - out of CFCs in MDIs still Priority
Complete replacement by HFA in MDIs/ DPIs, corresponds to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of approx. 75 %;
IPAC data: 73 %
HFC - 227 pharma and HFC-134 a pharma
Phase - out of HFAs in MDIs would result in
Almost no reduction of emissions (0.05% worldwide/ 0,13 %EU)
Highest cost per t CO2 saved >100 € to > 500 €/ tonne CO2 equiv., with an average of 7 €/ tonne CO2 equiv. for 42 Mtonnes of CO2, better 1 - 2 €/ tonne CO2 equiv.; recommendation not to implement measures > 30 €/ tonne CO2
Longest duration for alternative developments (8 - 12 years; for new technology: 10 - 20 years)

Are HFAs going to be phased-out in MDIs ?
MDIs are reliable, cheap, convenient (EU wide patients primarily rely on MDIs: 85%, DPIs: 15%)
Certain patient groups depend on MDIs
Supply issue rather than legislation (year 2000: CFC MDIs in US: 100%, EU: 75%, HFA pharma grade supply ensured over long-term period (DuPont, ICI, Solvay)
