About

The “Socio-Economic Life Cycle-Based Framework for SSbD” is a tool to perform a socio-economic assessment of nanomaterials and nano-enabled products to support decision-making for safe-and sustainable-by-design (SSbD). The main target user group is industries in the early stages of product development. The framework, based on a social life cycle analysis (S-LCA) and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methodologies, will help users make decisions that would reduce the negative socio-economic impacts of nanomaterials and nano-enabled products. The tool is currently implemented as an excel tool and the approach can be found via the tool link. Tool Performance Results Use example TRAAC assessment Recorded training
