INTEGRANO Project - Safe and Sustainable by Design expertise

The INTEGRANO project addresses shortcomings and gaps in current safe and sustainability assessment approaches of Nano Materials (NMs) and Nano-enabled products (NEPs). Following the Framework for Safe and sustainable by design chemicals and materials, the project is implementing a general assessment approach based on quantitative evidence and is being applied in practice for specific Nano Materials (NMs) design cases. The project is developing novel NMs impact categories (ICs) for nanotoxicity and eco-nano-toxicity assessment for the integrated application of standardised assessment methodologies. The synthesis, incorporation, use phase and end-of-life NMs life cycle stages (LCS) are being addressed for targeted case studies by leveraging the results and the results of case studies and methodology developed in the ASINA project. The collected/generated data is being used to meet the project’s objectives to formulate design hypotheses and make design decisions by applying a data-driven approach and methodology, providing stakeholders with a digital supported decision process to tackle the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) challenge in the NMs context.
