Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) aims to facilitate the industrial transition towards a safe, climate-neutral and resource-efficient economy. On this page we have gathered valuable information about SSbD.
SSbD Chemicals and Materials Framework
The SSbD framework was announced in December 2022 and is a voluntary approach to guide the innovation process for chemicals and materials. The framework aims to:
- steer the innovation process towards the green and sustainable industrial transition
- substitute or minimise the production and use of substances of concern, in line with, and beyond existing and upcoming regulatory obligations
- minimise the impact on health, climate and the environment during sourcing, production, use and end-of-life of chemicals, materials and products
