Search for Successfully Implemented Alternatives

You can use the free text search function to find information in the case story database. Most suitable are: substance name and other substance identifier (EC- and CAS-number). You can refine your search after first entry for sector-, function- and process-categories. The case studies are meant to serve as source of inspiration and ideas for substitution. The alternatives are constantly being developed further. We therefore recommend that you to check in each individual case whether an alternative is suitable for your applications and purposes. If you are aware of any other relevant information that is not mentioned in the current case story, please contact SUBSPORTplus.

Substitution bromierter Flammschutzmittel durch nicht halogenierte Alternativen unter Verwendung der GreenScreen™ for safer chemicals Methode zur Bewertung von Alternativen

HP arbeitet daran, bromierte Flammschutzmittel (BFRs) in neuen Produkten stufenweise zu ersetzen, die bisher noch bromierte Flammschutzmittel enthalten. Um zu bewerten, ob die im Handel erhältlichen Alternativen zu BFRs weniger negative Einflüsse auf Gesundheit und Umwelt haben, wurde eine integrierte Bewertungsmethode für die Analyse der möglichen Ersatzprodukte entwickelt. Dieser integrierte Ansatz beinhaltet ein vergleichendes Screening chemischer Gefahren, das auf einem Tool namens Green Screen™ for safer Chemicals [http://www.cleanproduction.org/greenscreen.php] basiert, einem von der Nicht-Regierungsorganisation Clean Production Action entwickeltes System. Dieses Fallbeispiel stellt den integrierten Ansatz bei der Suche nach geeigneten Alternativen zu BFRs vor.

Substitution of brominated flame retardants with non-halogenated alternatives using the GreenScreen™ for safer chemicals alternatives assessment tool.

HP is working to phase out brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in new products that currently contain BFRs. To evaluate whether commercially available alternatives to BFRs have a lower adverse impact to human health and the environment, an integrated assessment approach was developed for analysing potential replacements. This integrated approach incorporates a comparative chemical hazard screening step based on a tool called the GreenScreenTM for Safer Chemicals [http://www.cleanproduction.org/greenscreen.php], a framework developed by the non-governmental organisation Clean Production Action. This case study examines the integrated assessment approach in the search or suitable alternatives to BFRs.
