Abstract/Summary

This report demonstrates a case study within the ASINA project, aimed at instantiating a roadmap with quantitative metrics for Safe(r) and (more) Sustainable by Design (SSbD) options. We begin with a description of ASINA’s methodology across the product lifecycle, outlining the quantitative elements within: Physical-Chemical Features (PCFs), Key Decision Factors (KDFs), and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Subsequently, we delve in a proposed decision support tool for implementing the SSbD objectives across various dimensions—functionality, cost, environment, and human health safety—within a broader European context. We then provide an overview of the technical processes involved, including design rationales, experimental procedures, and tools/models developed within ASINA in delivering nano-silver-based antimicrobial textile coatings. The result is pragmatic, actionable metrics intended to be estimated and assessed in future SSbD applications and to be adopted in a common SSbD roadmap aligned with the EU’s Green Deal objectives. The methodological approach is transparently and thoroughly described to inform similar projects through the integration of KPIs into SSbD and foster data-driven decision-making. Specific results and project data are beyond this work’s scope, which is to demonstrate the ASINA roadmap and thus foster SSbD-oriented innovation in nanotechnology.
