On March 19, 2021 the European Commission (EC) held its first stakeholder workshop about Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) approach and criteria for chemicals. The SSbD criteria are a key element of the EC’s Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS), which was published in October 2020. During the online SSbD workshop, representatives from the EC, the EU Member States, as well as various stakeholders from industry, civil society, and academia presented their views on how to identify criteria for SSbD, and what these criteria should be. More than 500 participants contributed with questions and comments in the chat. The full recording of the workshop has been published by the EC Directorate General for Research & Innovation.
