Background & project objective
Mistra SafeChem is a research programme for green and sustainable chemical industry. This programme is funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research. The vision of the Mistra SafeChem programme is to enable and promote the expansion of a safe, sustainable and green chemical industry.
The programme has been developed with the twelve principles of green chemistry as a fundament. The research will combine the potentials of innovative manufacturing processes, tools for hazard and risk screening, and life cycle assessment with ambitions and opportunities for development and growth of a safe and sustainable chemical industry.
