Green transformation of materials and products has recently become one of the most urgent tasks in industry and society. However, ensuring safety, sustainability, and regulatory compliance while maintaining performance standards and economic viability is a challenge that requires expert guidance. The Convert2Green all-in-one Eco-balance and life-cycle analysis (LCA), techno-economic analysis (TEA), and Safety Analysis package for Novel Materials and offers a one-stop solution to meet these needs.
You plan to introduce a new/eco-friendly material to your product and want to assess it’s impact? Then we are the right partner for you: We provide you insights on the improvement of the eco-balance and carbon footprint of your product, we compare the economic/business impact before and after introducing the new material, and validate safety and regulatory compliance.
With strong experience from previous projects in food packaging, medical device technology, automotive, plastics for agriculture and printed electronics, this package is designed to cater to a wide range of industries and applications. Whether you are at the initial design phase or looking to optimize existing products and processes, our services are tailored to align with your unique requirements.
What’s included:
1. Sustainability Assessment Expertise
Evaluate the environmental, economic, and social impact of your products throughout their lifecycle. Our experts provide a complete (social, and environmental) Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) following the “Safe and Sustainable by Design” principles to enhance your product’s sustainability profile.
2. Safe by Design Materials Development
Create safer, more sustainable materials through predictive modeling and in-silico safety assessments. Our Safe by Design approach ensures your materials comply with safety, toxicological, and environmental regulations, accelerating the development of innovative, regulation-ready solutions.
3. Design, Re-design, and Optimization of Industrial Processes
Ensure compatibility of your process with the novel, sustainable materials or optimize your processes for improved resource efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Our process design services focus on (a) being ready for novel sustainable materials and (b) minimizing carbon footprints, maximizing energy efficiency, and creating cost-effective workflows.
4. Human Contact, and Microbial Safety Testing (depending on application)
Ensure your products are safe and free from microbial growth. Using advanced microbiology laboratories, we test materials such as medical devices or food packaging against ISO standards to verify antimicrobial claims and safeguard product integrity. The analysis of human toxicity (through cytotoxicity testing), volatile organic components (VoC), skin irritation tests and more ensures safety and compliance to relevant regulation
5. Ecotoxicity analysis and regulatory compliance
Ensure that your products do not harm the environment when disposed and that your product comply with EU and national regulations. We analyze safety to water, soil, animals and support you in preparing any required certifications.
