Grant Description
The main goal of SUNSHINE is to develop and implement S&SbD strategies for products enabled by multi-component (advanced) nanomaterials (MCNM), including high aspect-ratio nanomaterials (HARNs).
To this end, the project will generate essential knowledge, tools and data on the exposure, hazard and functionality characteristics of these materials, especially those arising from their unique properties and interactions (e.g. mixture effects due to the multi-component nature of the materials).
To facilitate the uptake and utilisation of the S&SbD strategies by industry, especially SMEs, we will deliver them as part of a user-friendly e-infrastructure designed to: (1) facilitate collaboration and information exchange between actors along nanotechnology supply chains (developers, producers, downstream users) to promote the development and implementation of S&SbD strategies for MCNM-based materials, products and processes; (2) support SMEs and large industries in the selection and application of simple, robust and cost-effective experimental, modelling and grouping/read-across approaches to acquire/generate the data needed to test the effectiveness of the S&SbD strategies; (3) enable risk-benefit analysis of the S&SbD-modified materials and products at each stage of the innovation process to ensure that they are safe for the human health and the environment without compromising their technical and/or commercial probability of success The S&SbD strategies that are effective in reducing the risks from MCNMs, while retaining product performance and economic viability, will be proposed for full scale industrial implementation.
In addition, the project will contribute to Regulatory Preparedness by providing recommendations on improvement and adaptation of the current regulatory hazard, exposure and risk assessment guidance (e.g.
REACH, Biocides, Consumer Products, Food and Feed, Medical Technologies) and standard guidelines (OECD, ISO, CEN) for MCNMs.
