Projects
PHARMECO
Advancing safe and sustainable by design practices in pharmaceutical manufacturing
Objectives
- Develop Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) Platforms: Enhance early-stage pharmaceutical product development through SSbD-driven, process-intensified technologies like continuous manufacturing.
- Design Eco-Friendly Manufacturing Processes: Create sustainable production systems for small molecules, peptides, oligonucleotides, proteins, and RNA with advanced control measures.
- Scale-Up and Demonstrate Sustainable Manufacturing: Develop and demonstrate environmentally-friendly processes at an industrial scale, ready for GMP environments and clinical testing.
- Implement Digital Decision-Making Tools: Create modular digital tools for evaluating and optimizing sustainability across pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
- Standardize Environmental Sustainability Assessments: Collaborate with stakeholders to establish robust guidelines and standardized Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies for the pharmaceutical industry.
- Facilitate Regulatory Adoption of Sustainability Standards: Promote the adoption of standardized LCA practices within regulatory frameworks to enhance environmental compliance.
- Integrate Sustainability Across the Entire Manufacturing Lifecycle: Ensure sustainability is embedded from the design phase to disposal, revolutionizing the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.
Description
The uniqueness of PHARMECO relies on:
- the synergistic interconnection from modeling to upscaling in test setting to industrial scale,
- the implementation of a holistic end-to-end and integrated sustainability performance assessment considering also health gain,
- the introduction of prospective sustainability performance assessment, which will ensure sustainability and scalability of PHARMECO technologies and processes, that will be eligible to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification and finally
- the interdisciplinarity and the complementarity of the consortium will allow PHARMECO to address the full scope of the project.
