🌿🔬 Thank you to those who joined us for yesterday's Think Tank workshop on "Integrating Pharmaceutical Pollution into Quantitative Sustainability Assessments." It was an inspiring group of experts from different fields, and your participation was invaluable! 🙌 #Pharmapollution 💊🏥 Healthcare decision-making processes, like health technology assessment (HTA), have traditionally focused on economic cost and health outcomes. However, there's a growing recognition of the need to incorporate the environmental impacts of pharmaceuticals into these assessments. 🌎 Sustainability assessments such as Life Cycle Analyses (LCAs) are moving beyond carbon footprints to consider a wider range of environmental impacts. Yet, assessing the environmental impacts of pharmaceutical products has been challenging due to data limitations and complexities in predicting environmental fate, exposure, and toxicity. 🤝 Our workshop had three key aims: 1️⃣ Cross-disciplinary networking: We aimed to create effective connections between researchers and practitioners working across different fields. Building these bridges is crucial to address complex sustainability challenges. 2️⃣ Collective dialogue: We engaged in meaningful discussions to understand the main barriers and needs for making progress. Perspectives from people working in LCA, pharmaceutical ecotoxicology, and healthcare decision-making were all essential. 3️⃣ Inspiring future research: Together, we identified opportunities and ideas for future cross-disciplinary, action-driven collaborative projects. These projects hold the potential to drive real change in how pharmaceutical pollution is integrated into healthcare decision-making. 🙏 We shared challenges, explored innovative ideas, and identified areas where collaboration can accelerate progress on this important issue. These will be made available through a blog on our webpages coming soon.  #Pharmapollution #sustainability #healthcare #NHS #research #pharmaceuticals Kelly Thornber Lara Wöhler Charlie Tyler Stewart Owen sharon pfleger Melissa Pegg BSc (Hons) MSc MSc PIEMA Ross Brown Lydia Niemi Caroline Farmer Kerri Hall George Kirkham

Happy Innovation Day! Today we celebrate the imperative role laboratories play as incubators of change, particularly in integrating sustainability into their foundational mission. 🌱 These innovation centers have two main roles: creating solutions for global problems and leading the way in green innovation. Using advanced technology together with eco-friendly practices is now necessary to protect our future.

The fourth and final panel today was a group of industry experts discussing: The Scaling Challenge: Why Does it Take So Long? The expert panel was moderated by Thomasine Dolan Dow, MII Director of Materials Innovation & Design, and featured Martin Stübler, Co-founder, BioFluff; Zimri T. Hinshaw, Founder & CEO, Bucha Bio; Aleksandra Gosiewski, Co-founder, Keel Labs; and Joshua Lachter, Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, Synonym Bio. Here are just a few highlight notes from the session: -There is a lack of good words to describe in the next-gen material industry just as the food industry has struggled to make people understand. -“The Materials Transition” likened to the “Energy Transition” - need people to talk about materials in the same way we talk about fossil fuels needing to be phased out for energy. -Only way to meet capacity and price targets is scaling up, what are the economics of the bio-process. Every innovator wants ‘NIKE’ OR ‘Lululemon’, etc. to come pick their material, but what the younger innovators need to acknowledge is the challenges of meeting the demands of established consumer base that has a set expectations. -An important lesson learned from this industry is new and old technologies can co-exist and bring about a completely new material (fibre and fur technology). -Start developing products in partnership with clients. The earlier the better - working with luxury clients, most of the energy goes into making the product and understanding where to go when you start co-creating the product with your client based on consumer needs. #innovation #sustainability #nextgenmaterials #animalfree
