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.
