Introduction to Safe and Sustainably by Design (SSbD)

What is SSbD?

Safe and Sustainably by Design is a strategic approach to guide manufacturers, producers, and innovators in the development of safe and sustainable chemicals, materials, processes, and products. It assists to identify and minimise, the impacts concerning safety for humans and the environment, and for sustainability, taking a lifecycle perspective. It is considered as a pre- market approach to steer industry to a green and sustainable transition by integrating safety and sustainability considerations into the design and development of products, processes, or technologies from the early stage of innovation.

SSbD is considered as one of the key aspects of the EU`s Chemical Strategy for Sustainability towards a toxic-free environment (CSS) of the European Green Deal. Actions on SSbD announced in the EC CSS inter alia include the development of a SSbD framework for the definition of criteria and evaluation procedure for chemicals and materials
