Product information "Benign by Design"

The module Benign by Design (BbD) integrates content covered in F2 Environmental Chemistry, F3 Toxicology and Ecotoxicology, and F4 Modeling of Chemical Properties and Fate to introduce conceptual approaches for molecular de novo and re-design of chemical compounds with reduced environmental and toxicological impact and/or improved function. Using state of the art examples from scientific literature and practical exploration of the concept, the emphasis is laid on understanding the potential and applicability of molecular benign by design, as well as currently still existing gaps in experimental and in silico data required for widespread application of the approach. Another topic addressed in the module is benign by design of materials and processes and related substance flows, material flows, and product flows. This module is thereby linking to F1 Concepts of Sustainable Chemistry, and also linking to aspects of resource availability and circular economy covered in depth in module F8 Resources, Recycling, and Circular Economy.
