PLANETS is an ambitious Horizon Europe project that aims to develop alternatives for 3 of the most important classes of molecules in chemical industries – plasticizers, flame retardants and surfactants – that will be significantly safer to workers and consumers and have considerably lower environmental impact, while still being economically viable and taking social aspects into consideration.
This will validate the Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design Framework, encouraging industry and SMEs to adopt an SSbD approach to developing new chemicals.

PLANETS addresses 3 chemical substances of concern – surfactants, flame retardants and plasticizers – bringing together 3 very different typologies and value chains. We also hope to identifypossible synergies between the case studies.
