PLANETSSustainable Chemistry
for a Safer Tomorrow

Shaping a safe & sustainable future for our planet.

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.

Applications

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 identify possible synergies between the case studies.
