Objective
SOLVSAFE is a solvent innovation platform aimed at providing European SMEs with cutting-edge scientific knowledge, to introduced radical industrial process changes with the following environmental and saregy goals: 1) 50-100 % reduction in the number and q uantity of hazardous solvents utilized 2) a 70% reduction of Volatile Organic Compounds emissions to the atmosphere 3) a 60% decrease of CO2 emissions 4) a 40% increase in the quantity of renewable materials utilized 5) to reduce solvent concentrations in production sites below the Occupational Exposure Level with no need of high-cost abatement technologies. To fulfil these objectives, fundamental research and development in 1) neoteric solvents 2) non.conventional non-toxic solvents 3) solvents from renew able feedstocks 4) water-based processes 5) innovative synthetic stratefies; and 6) recently discovered bio-tech methodologies will be applied to a wide variety of industrial processes resulting in breakthrough innovations in 5 different industrial sectors : 1) Manufacture of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients 2) Production of Biofuels and its By-products 3) Production of Agrochemicals and Crop Protection Products 4) Oil Seed Extraction; and 5) Manufacture of Solvents. EU legislation concerning the protection of air; water, and human health against hazardous chemical substances will alarmingly restric the use of existing solvents by 2010. This is due to: 1) Important sources of VOC in air which, in turn, are precursors of toxic tropospheric ozone 2) Pollutants in natural bodies of water; and 3) Toxic for human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need in Europe for industrial safer solvents. SOLVSAFE addresses on of major problems of European industry through multi-sector approaches involving solvents manufact urers, suppliers, and end-users with a potential impact over 2.200.000 metric tones of solvents used in the EU annually and 10 millions persons employed that manufacture or use solvents
