TOSS Putting into Practice Integrated TOols to Select and Produce Safe and Sustainable alternatives for problematic Persistent and Mobile Toxic Substances

Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) is a promising approach to develop new chemicals. However, well-elaborated tools to guide selection of SSbD alternatives that fullfill the desired and essential function in a given application are missing. In this proposal, we will focus on Persistent, Mobile and Toxic chemicals, as they pose a risk to the watercycle and human and ecological health. This TOSS project will develop integrated tools to select and produce SSbD alternatives for PMTs, will gain experience with putting SSbD in practice including active contributions of different stakeholders, and will formulate lessons for industry, academic research and policy.
