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.
