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.

Join our green chemistry scale-up webinar with DesSolutio
We are thrilled to announce our seventh webinar session. Save the date: it will take place on Wednesday, 11 March at 17:00 CET and will feature a presentation by our researcher Juan Martín Pividori, from DesSolutio.
BAM: unveiling the mechanisms behind mechanochemical reactions
What actually happens inside a mechanochemical reaction? Our partner the BAM Institute analyses reactions as they occur to unravel how atoms and molecules behave.
The Impactive Educational Platform is here!
Developed by the IMPACTIVE project, this platform is a meeting point for the mechanochemical community, with information and resources on this branch of chemistry. Its goal is to bring together individuals and institutions to actively participate in the platform.
