In support of the European Union's circular economy action plans and its chemical strategy for sustainability, initiatives are being developed aimed at integrating ‘safe and sustainable by design’ (SSbD) principles and approaches in the development of chemicals and materials to promote a toxic-free environment. The expected widespread use of advanced materials (AdMa) underlines the need for addressing sustainability and environmental safety as early as possible in the material design. Here, we present AdMaCat, which is a SSbD first-tier screening categorization tool addressing environmental concerns of AdMa. The tool is aimed at the early design-phase in materials development to enable a transparent and systematic evaluation of the functionality, safety, and sustainability of AdMa in a circular economy context. AdMaCat delivers a color-coded output with design recommendations covering the material life-cycle stages of manufacturing, use, and end of life. The applicability of AdMaCat is illustrated through a case study on organic aerogels for insulation purposes, focusing on material and process selections, application, and waste management options. We conclude that AdMaCat can assist in identifying data gaps and inform decisions regarding the design of tailored AdMa by optimizing the balance of functionality, safety, and sustainability in a circular economy.

用于纳米先进材料开发和创新的设计阶段环境安全和可持续设计分类工具 (AdMaCat)

为了支持欧盟的循环经济行动计划及其可持续化学战略，正在制定举措，旨在将“安全和可持续设计”（SSbD）原则和方法融入化学品和材料的开发中，以促进无毒化环境。先进材料 (AdMa) 的预期广泛使用强调了在材料设计中尽早解决可持续性和环境安全问题的必要性。在这里，我们推出 AdMaCat，它是 SSbD 一级筛选分类工具，旨在解决 AdMa 的环境问题。该工具针对材料开发的早期设计阶段，以便在循环经济背景下对 AdMa 的功能、安全性和可持续性进行透明和系统的评估。 AdMaCat 提供颜色编码的输出以及涵盖材料生命周期阶段（制造、使用和寿命结束）的设计建议。通过对用于隔热目的的有机气凝胶的案例研究说明了 AdMaCat 的适用性，重点是材料和工艺选择、应用和废物管理选项。我们的结论是，AdMaCat 可以通过优化循环经济中功能、安全性和可持续性的平衡，帮助识别数据差距，并为有关定制 AdMa 设计的决策提供信息。
