On 30 April 2024 at 10:00 am CET the PRESERVE project is organising an online training in webinar format on the implementation of the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) framework in the project. This training is the first webinar of a new series which will touch upon key topics of interest in the realm of sustainable packaging and EU research and innovation projects such as SSbD, biodegradation or open science principles and practice.
The 4-year EU-funded project PRESERVE is, since 2020, developing five food and drink packaging demonstrators made with biobased materials, and 5 personal care items demonstrators made with secondary raw materials. These 10 applications need to be safe to protect human health and sustainable to protect the environment (and human health yet again). That is the goal of the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) assessment framework introduced by the European Commission in 2022 as a voluntary general approach.
The framework aims to:
- Steer the innovation process towards the green and sustainable industrial transition;
- Substitute or minimise the production and use of substances of concern, in line with, and beyond existing and upcoming regulatory obligations;
