New Guidance on Safe and Sustainable by Design Released by Cefic

The PROPLANET team is pleased to share exciting news that aligns perfectly with our commitment to innovation and sustainability: Cefic has officially released the “Safe and Sustainable by Design” (SSbD) Guidance — a comprehensive new tool designed to support companies in embedding sustainability at the heart of innovation.

This practical and forward-looking guide helps organisations understand, test, and apply SSbD principles across the design and development of products and processes. It provides clear methodologies and criteria, helping to assess safety, environmental impact, and circularity from the earliest stages of innovation.

At PROPLANET, we strongly support initiatives like this that drive the industry towards safer, greener, and more responsible solutions. Resources such as the SSbD Guidance are essential for building stronger connections between science, policy, and practice in the circular and bio-based economy.
