Cooperation
OITBs
We will be building strategic partnerships with Open Innovation Test Beds (OITBs) to accelerate the adoption of safe and sustainable chemicals across industries. By connecting innovation ecosystems, we create practical pathways for testing and scaling promising alternatives to substances of concern.
Our approach
DESIDERATA will create a strategic network of Open Innovation Test Beds (OITBs) to accelerate Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) implementation across European industries. We will unite complementary capabilities to drive development and market uptake of alternatives to substances of concern.
Our ecosystem
- Accelerates implementation by overcoming technical, regulatory, and market barriers
- Bridges knowledge gaps through cross-OITB exchange
- Scales impact from niche to widespread adoption
- Creates lasting value beyond project timelines
Our pillars
Together with our partners, we drive the transition to safer chemical alternatives through coordinated innovation and shared resources for a toxic-free future. Through our three-pillar approach:
Bring Up
We elevate the SSbD framework by offering regulatory benefits to stakeholders, integrating safety into educational curriculums, involving actors across supply chains, and securing multistakeholder commitment to implementation.
Shake Up
We transform industrial practices through redesigned product compositions that eliminate hazardous substances, scale-up green chemistry in synthesis processes, addressing raw material challenges, and implementing equipment improvements for sustainable manufacturing.
Scale Up
We amplify successful initiatives by expanding adoption of biodegradable materials, developing scalable processes for environmentally benign alternatives, creating industrial demonstrations that validate SSbD benefits, and building cross-sector implementation momentum.
