As result of the project, since 2013, this Portal offered a wide range of information related to substitution, which allows to plan substitution in a systematic way and to inform about the possibilities to substitute substances and how to approach assessment of alternatives.
To ensure that after the project stage the Portal remains up to date and will be developed further, in 2018 the German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAUA), has taken responsibility for the Portal.
Since beginning of 2019, SUBSPORT is available under the new name SUBSPORTplus.
