  • Danish Ecological Council
    The Ecological Council (Det Økologiske Råd) is a danish NGO founded in 1991. Our main objective is to promote sustainable patterns of develop- ment, where environmental concerns, social justice and human well-being are main focal points. The Ecological Council is different from other Danish NGOs in the way that it is an academic organisation dealing with environ- mental policy on a scientific basis, but at the same time trying to inform and have a dialogue with both politicians and the general public
  • Danish Technological Institute
    The Danish Technological Institute has participated – and is participating – in several projects to investigate the possibility of substituting chemicals in production. Three of the most important projects are: "Substitution of mineral oil in machine knitting", the aim of which is to find out whether there are more environment-friendly alternatives to the use of mineral oil in machine knitting. The project "Azo dyes in textiles, including toys" assesses the environmental and health aspects of the use of finished textiles dyed or printed with azo dyes. The results of the project "Chemicals in textiles" will soon be available. The aim of this project, whose starting point is the use and disposal phase, is to recommend which chemicals should be avoided in textile manufacturing
  • CPA: Clean Production Action
    CPA works with companies to substitute hazardous chemicals in products and production processes with Green Chemistry and safer substitutes; waste reduction through producer responsibility for product take-back; the promotion of sustainable agriculture for bio-based renewable materials, and awareness raising of the environmental and health implications of emerging new materials such as nanotechnology
  • Hazardous substances. Scania
