6 Expected Impact
NanoSustain will contribute to improve our current knowledge on
hazard, impact and sustainability of nanomaterials and products, in
particular in relation to end-of-life stages. The produced new data
will help to update and validate already existing databases on
materials and methodologies required for reliable and accurate
LCA and risk assessment of selected nanomaterials. As almost
nothing is known about the release, fate and impact of these
nanomaterials during end-of-life processes, new solid scientific
data on potential risks and their probability of occurring during
reuse/recycling and final treatment or disposal will be produced
and made available. For the first time new and innovative technical
solutions are explored on a lab-scale for the (1) recycling (by
composting and melting) of nanomaterials from waste products,
2) incineration of nanowaste as a safe final treatment option, and
3) land-filling of nanoparticle containing products as final disposal.
It is expected that these new technical solutions will help to
overcome some still unresolved technical barriers towards the
environmentally benign and sustainable design, use and
development of nanomaterials based technologies.

7 Cooperation
NanoSustain is represented and actively participating in most
Working Groups (WG) of the EU Nanosafety cluster. In addition,
the project is closely cooperating with the EU FP7 NanoHouse
project and with the Danish Flügger company on the performance
of weathering and abrasion tests, with the EU FP7 NEPHH project
on LCA-methodology and collection of relevant LCA data, with
EMPA/Switzerland on developing an exposure model, with the
University of eastern Finland on the incineration of MWCNT
containing wastes, and with Health Canada on micro array analyses
of tissue from the animal experiments.
NanoSustain will also closely cooperate with other relevant EU FP7
projects, to use and maximize existing synergies, avoid or benefit
from duplication of work and increase the overall impact of the
project. Additional agreements are in preparation with the EU FP7
Prosuite, NanoFate, NanoPolytox and the ENPRA project.
