Ecodesign where the footprint is decided: in synthesis planning
Planning software that brings sustainability to your chemists without adding to their day.
- Planning gets fasterOne workspace, tailored to how chemists in big pharma work, replaces their jungle of files.
- At the speed of drawingCarbon next to cost, availability and delivery time for every option your chemists propose.
- Decisions, not reportsCarbon counts while the route is still cheap to change.
The numbers come from Elio's LCA data, made for chemicals outside leading LCA databases.

“[The tool] provides a foundation that allows me to integrate sustainability into my daily work without any additional effort. The tool can noticeably ease my day-to-day work and deliver real time savings.”
Why ecodesign in R&D
Most of the footprint is set early and assessed late
How much ecodesign can achieve depends on when carbon enters route design.
Many routes to one molecule
Every step is a choice of reagents, solvents and conditions, and each choice shapes the footprint.
One possible routeRoutes that workIllustrative shape, not data. The axis without a number
Cost, timing and quality reach the decision with numbers attached. Carbon rarely does, so it weighs less.

Lower footprintHigherIllustrative shape, not data. Freedom narrows as knowledge grows
Each choice limits the next. By the time the footprint is assessed, the route is costly to change.
Illustrative chart: over development, the freedom to change the route falls while knowledge of its footprint rises. The two cross early, and the footprint is usually assessed only near manufacturing.

Illustrative shape, not data. The same search, better informed
Chemists still choose the chemistry. Carbon now has a number while there is still freedom to act on it.
