Mechanochemistry towards greener pharmaceuticals
Innovative processes to revolutionise how we manufacture drugs and chemicals
Greener pharma
The pharmaceutical industry generates tons of toxic waste and carbon emissions. Moreover, it often relies on the supply chains of chemicals and catalysts, which limits timely production during emergencies.
Mechano…what?
Mechanochemistry gets rid of solvents. It uses mechanical force, like grinding and milling, to drive chemical reactions. It’s succesfully used by other industrial sectors (aerospace, cosmetics, fertilisers…). Now, IMPACTIVE will validate its use in pharma.
An impactful solution
IMPACTIVE is a project funded by the European Commission, which counts on 17 partners in 10 different countries. Our expertise covers the whole value chain, from research to industry and innovation, which will ensure our solutions find ways to market.
Strong industrial collaboration
IMPACTIVE counts with the industry from the start. 2 international companies (Merck & Novartis) are part of the project, to help with the scaling up.

IMPACTIVE celebrates its annual meeting in Lisbon
After twelve months of collaboration, the IMPACTIVE project partners have celebrated a meeting in Lisbon, hosted by Portuguese partner IST-ID. The discussions delved into the developments of new mechanochemical methods, as well as useful strategies towards the protection of intellectual property towards commercialisation.
IMPACTIVE connecting mechanochemists in IUPAC 2023
Last week, chemists from around the world gathered at the IUPAC Conference in The Hague, Netherlands. IMPACTIVE researchers had a strong presence throughout the conference, with a dedicated focus session on mechanochemistry, as well as oral and poster presentations highlighting the first results of the project.
