Project Overview

ETERNAL is contributing to sustainable development of pharmaceutical manufacture, use and disposal, by using and promoting full life cycle approaches covering design, manufacture, use, and disposal. Our industry-research-compliance partnership is mobilizing to:

• co-design application-industry oriented R&D and scale-up in six industrial case studies focused on Green Chemistry, Mechanochemistry, and Digitalization, as key enabling technologies;

• assess the regulatory implications of adopting the innovations to ensure a pathway to compliance

• generate new scientific knowledge on the environmental fate and eco-toxicological effects of pharmaceuticals; and

• catalyze behavioural change, participation and social innovation for reducing the environmental impacts of pharmaceuticals in terms of safe use and disposal.
