Our Global Internship Programme in Innovation & Sustainability (#IP2TIS) offers a unique opportunity for passionate individuals to gain hands-on experience in the pharmaceutical industry while making a positive impact on the world. Are you ready to join a global network spanning 20+ countries, where bright minds collaborate to tackle real-world challenges in Innovation & Sustainability? Do you want to work on impactful projects, shape the future, and drive change from within? As an intern, you will contribute to a project focused on developing responsible end-of-life practices for Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-containing waste streams in the pharmaceutical industry. The project aims to assess current disposal and recycling approaches for PFAS-containing materials, evaluate environmental risks and treatment options, and support Roche in defining safer and more future-oriented waste management practices. Within your first 3 months, you are expected to help develop a comparative analysis of PFAS disposal technologies in Europe and the USA, assess degradation and by-product risks from incineration, recommend responsible disposal practices for Roche sites, and explore implications for PFAS-containing products such as vials, medical devices, and diagnostic components. Your work will support Roche’s sustainability priorities by helping reduce environmental emissions, protect water resources and habitats, and strengthen responsible product stewardship in light of increasing PFAS regulation. This internship offers the opportunity to work on a highly relevant environmental challenge with direct practical impact.
