Hey Pune, big news in the pharmaceutical industry! A new initiative is set to revolutionize manufacturing processes and significantly reduce emissions. The UK-India Net Zero Innovation Centre has launched a ‘Living Lab’ in Pune, where companies can explore cutting-edge technologies to make a positive impact on the environment.
The Indian pharmaceutical industry is a major player globally, supplying a large portion of vaccines and generic drugs. With the ‘Living Lab’ at CSIR-NCL in Pune, companies like Aarti Industries, Glenmark Life Sciences, and USV are already on board to develop eco-friendly manufacturing practices. More companies, including Sun Pharma, are expected to join soon.
Dr. Ashish Lele, Director of CSIR-NCL, highlighted the potential of continuous manufacturing and digitalization in reducing emissions. The project aims to transition from traditional batch manufacturing to continuous methods, boosting productivity and safety.
Dr. Arun Harish from CPI emphasized the importance of the pharma industry in achieving net zero emissions, especially with the current global demand for treatments and vaccines. The ‘Living Lab’ offers a unique opportunity for collaboration and innovation on a large scale.
Aarti Industries sees the ‘Living Lab’ as a catalyst for developing energy-efficient processes and making them accessible to the wider industry. USV is excited to be part of this ambitious project, which aims to reduce the carbon footprint of the chemical industry and meet global sustainability standards.
The UK-India partnership in Pune is hailed as a significant step towards industrial decarbonization. The ‘Living Lab’ provides a platform for testing and scaling up new technologies, with the goal of driving the industry towards a greener future.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Industry Consortium on Continuous Manufacturing, which will involve mid-size Indian companies in the journey towards sustainable practices. The future looks bright for eco-friendly pharmaceutical manufacturing in Pune!
