Safe and Sustainable by Design

In our daily lives, we find ourselves surrounded by a myriad of chemicals and materials. New products come with potential risks for both our health and the environment. In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that approximately 2 million deaths per year could be related to chemical exposure. TNO is encouraging companies to embrace Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) methods, and advocates collaborating on a Decision Support Approach to effectively balance risks and benefits in the initial product development stages.
