Nanomaterials (NMs) are widely used across various production sectors. However, there is a pressing need to enhance the sustainability and viability of the industrial adoption of nanotechnologies. The EU-funded INTEGRANO project aims to develop a standardised approach to evaluate specific NMs based on quantitative evidence, aligning with current guidelines for Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD). The project will encompass four stages of the NM life cycle: synthesis, incorporation, utilisation, and end-of-life. It will evaluate performance across five dimensions (5Ds) – safety, environmental, economic, social, and function – and establish response functions to enable the correlation of Key Decision Factors (KDFs) with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
