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.

Here, the Centre for Technological Environmental Assessment can help!

Below are examples of three of the Centre’s core competences:

• Do you want a better basis for decisions – and to minimise risks?
• Do you want to differentiate your product from that of your competitors?
• Do you want input for product development?

“We can make an environmental assessment of everything
... and put the results into perspective for you and your customers.”
