LIFE PHARMA-DETOX PROJECT

Demonstration of an innovative method for the detoxification of pharmaceutical wastewater from pharmaceutical facilities. This project aims to the development and implementation of an innovative, economically viable and cost-efficient system for the transformation of pharmaceutical compounds, present in wastewater, into non-toxic substances. In this way, the environmental impacts occurring due to poor controlled discharge of APIs in the wastewater sewage system will be eliminated.

In the 2024 report, Europe’s State of Water: The Need for Improved Water Resilience, the European Environment Agency (EEA) highlighted the critical role of addressing pollution from industrial waste and pharmaceuticals to enhance water resilience. The report identifies industrial pollutants and pharmaceuticals as significant contributors to water quality degradation, impacting both ecological health and human...

At Life PharmaDetox, we have recently completed a series of experiments designed to evaluate the effectiveness of our prototype system in detoxifying Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). These experiments aim to demonstrate the toxicological impact of treated samples on both the environment and microorganisms. We are excited to share the preliminary results and insights occurred during...
