Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS)
Chemicals are essential for the well-being, high living standards and comfort of modern society. They are used in many sectors, including health, energy, mobility and housing. The European Commission published a chemicals strategy for sustainability on 14 October 2020. It is part of the EU’s zero pollution ambition, which is a key commitment of the European Green Deal.
Strategic research and innovation plan for safe and sustainable chemicals and materials
The Strategic Research and Innovation Plan (SRIP) for Chemicals in the Green Deal era delivers on the announcement of the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS). The SRIP sets out an overarching plan addressing R&I needs across the lifecycle of chemicals and materials to achieve the goals of the CSS and the overall societal transition as envisioned by the Green Deal and the related policy initiatives. The objective of the SRIP is to stimulate and guide R&I funders at EU, national and private level as well as R&I performers to take a joint and coordinated approach to address the outstanding challenges to make chemicals and materials Green Deal compliant.
Safe and Sustainable by Design Chemicals and Materials (SSbD)
Within the European Green Deal, the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS) (EC, 2020a) identified a number of actions to reduce negative impacts on human health and the environment associated with chemicals, materials, products and services commercialised or introduced onto the EU market. In particular, the ambition of the CSS is to phase out the most harmful substances and substitute, as far as possible, all other substances of concern, and otherwise minimise their use and track them. This objective requires novel approaches to analysing and comparing, across all life cycle stages, effects, releases and emissions for specific chemicals, materials, products and services, and move towards zero-pollution for air, water, soil and biota.
