The experience of others 

Our expert team has prepared several case stories about the substitution of hazardous substances the different industry branches. Case stories include a description of:

  • the target substance and its hazards and regulatory status,
  • the substitution process, including information on identification of alternatives, selected alternative and justification, 
  • the implementation plan, costs and savings, and
  • an evaluation of the outcome.

Also unsuccessful cases of substitution are presented to illustrate the importance of a thorough assessment of alternatives.
