Making sustainability a central focus of design in manufacturing
Elio is an AI-powered eco-design software platform evolutionizing sustainable manufacturing by embedding sustainability directly into the production process design phase—before production begins. This includes cutting production-related emissions, reducing pollution and biodiversity loss, and minimizing waste, starting with sustainable drug manufacturing. In the pharmaceutical industry alone, 70-80% of a drug’s final environmental impact is determined during the process design phase. Considering the pharmaceutical industry contributes 0.9–2.5% of global emissions, and that this is just the first industry Elio is tackling, their solution is key to addressing the climate transition and enabling us to achieve net-zero.
