Tech Unlocks Sustainable Biopharma Revolution

🌍 A study by Imperial College London suggests that digital tools can help companies understand their environmental impact. 💡 Process sustainability can be challenging to quantify, but model-based tools exist to tackle case studies. 💧 Water consumption in cell cultivation and the use of resins and solvents are major sustainability challenges. ⚙️ Continuous manufacturing and automation are seen as sustainable approaches that can lower costs and environmental impact. 📚 However, technical and regulatory challenges need to be addressed for widespread adoption of these practices.
