Centre for Technological Environmental Assessment (CTM)

Products and services are becoming increasingly complex and require more extensive knowledge regarding new processes, technologies and materials/chemical substances.

Increasing globalisation is also resulting in companies needing shorter production processes which require innovation and faster decision-making.

The introduction of new technologies, products or materials is often accompanied by a promise of environmental improvements. This often results in a kind of “fear of technology” which may unduly reduce or delay the impact of a new product on the market.

By creating a balanced overview of the environmental advantages and disadvantages of a certain technology, product or material, the company can gain easier access to the market and even increase its market share.
