Welcome

Welcome to the Observatory on Nanotechnology Application and Safety in the Plastic Sector!

The NanoDesk Observatory on Nanotechnology Application and Safety in the Plastic Sector is a web tool aimed at the analysis, dissemination, use and exploitation of information of strategical value for the decision-making of companies and institutions. It is in the context of a Sudoe project, with the financial support of the European Union.

The goal of the portal is to promote technical viability and safe use of nanotechnology in the plastic sector, taking advantage of the results of the NanoDesk project and contributing directly to their dissemination.
