“Trusted Environments” Make Cool Innovations Safe for You and the Planet

The OECD introduces a Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) framework to tackle the rapid rise of advanced materials and nanotechnologies. Through Trusted Environments (TE), regulators and innovators can collaborate early, sharing knowledge and addressing safety and sustainability challenges before products reach the market. By ensuring confidentiality and fostering trust, these platforms reduce regulatory delays and improve safety across product lifecycles. This proactive approach not only speeds up innovation but also ensures environmental and human health remain top priorities, advancing a sustainable future for cutting-edge technologies.
