The Blueprint project proposes a small-scale workflow showcasing how data and models can be effectively integrated into a kind of a blueprint of how to connect chemical ecotoxicity to various levels of biodiversity damage.
The Safe Chem! project aims at allowing the assessment of chemical impacts from pharma medicines on ecosystems and measure them against global biodiversity targets, and reducing chemical ecotoxicity and related biodiversity loss in an absolute environmental sustainability perspective.
SAGROPIA is dedicated to transforming plant protection in European agriculture through the introduction of thirteen biological and low-risk pesticides, which shall replace some CfS and active substances that are currently in use. The project aims to seamlessly integrate new and sustainable solutions to plant protection into comprehensive IPM strategies.
The overall aim of TerraChem is to develop, demonstrate and apply a novel systems approach integrating monitoring, environmental modelling, data management, analytical tools and user guidance to better understand exposure of terrestrial biota across trophic levels in Europe to environmentally-relevant chemicals and their damage on terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystem services.
BIN2BEAN will support cities in their transition towards regenerative soil systems by promoting innovations for soil improvement from bio-waste with a value-based approach. The project will implement 3 Living Labs, as pilot city-regions, to follow a multi-actor and participative approach.
This project aims at developing and applying a methodology to assess the sustainability performance of selected enzymes, alternative proteins and microbial-based products from Novozymes, and understand how bio-based solutions can replace unsustainable products and technologies.
The objective of PollLCA is to develop and disseminate a framework and operational model for a pollinator module to be used in life cycle assessment (LCA) to enable comparing pesticide uses and screening pesticide-crop scenarios in life cycle impact assessment (LCIA).
PARC is an EU-wide research and innovation partnership programme to support EU and national chemical risk assessment and risk management bodies with new data, knowledge, methods, networks and skills to address current, emerging and novel chemical safety challenges.
The MINAGRIS project will assess the impact of plastic debris in agricultural soils on biodiversity, plant productivity and ecosystem services and their transport and degradation in the environment. We will provide tools and recommendations for sustainable use of plastic in agriculture at the farm and field levels for ensuring safe and economically viable food systems in Europe.
SPRINT will develop a Global Health Risk Assessment Toolbox to integrate assessments of the impacts of plant protection products (PPP) on ecosystem, plant, animal and human (EPAH) health. The goal of the project is to develop methods for an integrated risk assessment at the local, regional, national and European level.
The project on 'Crop Protection Environmental Impact Reduction' aims at developing consistent screening-level baselines for environmental impacts of plant protection products used in crop production as benchmarks to help measuring progress toward more sustainable agriculture.
PRORISK is a European Training Network funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie action. Vision of PRORISK is to provide a unique value by creating a novel platform for training a network of Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) in the field of advanced Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA).
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 project's aim is to further expand the scientific consensus model USEtox to address near-field exposure for building products and plastic toys, drawing on expertise and data on Chemicals of Concern (CoC) and related alternatives from the scientific community as well as building material and toy sector supply chain information.
The objective of this project is to identify 20 case studies on how to prevent and minimize the use of selected toxic chemicals that are widely used in the Southern Mediterranean region, in support of the implementation of policies and pilot actions to prevent the use of toxic chemicals in Southern Mediterranean countries.
The overall objective of the REACH-4-USEtox project is to assess REACH registration data for use in the global scientific consensus model USEtox and apply USEtox to identify sensitive input parameters for characterizing the fate of chemical substances released to the environment and for characterizing related human and ecosystem exposures.
The main objective of the OLCA-Pest project is to build on current advances in life cycle inventory and life cycle impact assessment to operationalise and harmonize the emission quantification and impact characterization of pesticides in life cycle assessment (LCA) and product environmental footprinting.
The objective of the GLAM project is to run a global process aiming at global guidance and consensus building on a limited number of environmental life cycle impact category indicators developed within a consistent framework, and to identify the related research agenda.
