Bio-based Material Life-Cycle Emissome Assessment Framework

Objective

"The production, use and EoL transformations of bio-based products can generate complex, poorly characterised mixtures and side streams that release substances of concern & emerging pollutants. Current monitoring and risk assessment approaches, designed for single chemicals and downstream releases, neglect feedstock-derived contaminants, transformation products, mixture effects, cross-media transport and feedbacks across the life cycle.
The Bio-Emissome project introduces the ""emissome"" concept: accounting for the full set of chemicals released over a product’s life cycle. Treating the emissome as a measurable, source-oriented entity within an overall Framework (the key output of the project) enables life-cycle-informed risk assessment that integrates chemical emissions mapping, predictive fate modelling, and hazard assessment across environmental compartments and time, while providing solutions to replace/reduce SoCs/EPs. The Framework will also couple advanced analytics with predictive digital tools (DSS and Digital Twins) to prioritise targets for screening and predict transformation products and toxicity under realistic conditions.
The modular digital infrastructure will link emissome maps with life-cycle inventory and impact models, supporting risk-informed sustainability assessments and SSbD improvements. 3 industrial case studies aligned with CBE JU development pipeline—biodegradable mulch films, bio-adhesives for particleboard, bio-surfactants—and a 4th case reflecting the effects from bio-based imports—sugarcane-derived feedstocks—will demonstrate the approach across air, soil and water, compare EU & South African contexts, and allow for engagement with citizens, including vulnerable groups.
Bio-Emissome will thus deliver practical tools to minimise hazardous releases from bio-based value chains, guiding safer product design and policy decisions. Industrial uptake will be promoted through training programmes and direct connections to >20 CBE JU projects."
