Contact NinaAre there no alternatives for the chemical of concern you would like to substitute? Contact us and we can discuss possible ways forward together! The Swedish Centre for Chemical Substitution is your node to experts, laboratories, testbeds and projects for developing new alternatives.
Has your company made a small-scale substitution and want to evaluate the function of the substitute? Use the help of a testbed to verify the function. All Swedish test beds are available on the Testbed Sweden collection site.
A testbed is an environment where companies, academia and other organizations can collaborate in the development, testing and introduction of new products, processes or organizational solutions in a specific area. Testbeds provide equipment, pilot machines, virtual and exploratory environments. Here, expertise, industries, problem owners and users meet to catalyse the development of future solutions together.
Tips! Contact us if you need help finding the right test bed for your product!
At Chemsec Marketplace you can advertise for substitutes which you believe are missing.
You can also monitor newsletters from your industry to stay updated for new alternatives and collaborative workshops.
Has your company made a successful substitution? Feel free to contact and tell us! We want to distribute good examples of substitution as inspiration for other companies.
Sweden has great opportunities to be at the forefront regarding sustainable alternatives to chemicals, materials, technologies and products. Are there knowledge gaps or needs for alternatives in your industry? Contact the Swedish Centre for Chemical Substitution and we can potentially bring together key industry players for training, workshops, seminars or conferences for knowledge exchange within chosen areas of substitution.
Tips! Contact the Substitution Center for more information on the possibility of arranging courses and initiate projects.
