BIA-prosjekt snudde trussel

Forskningsrådets nyheter fra Miljøgiftkonferansen 2012 inkluderer blant annet hvordan Innochem BIA-prosjektet snudde en trussel - et nytt og vanskelig regelverk (REACH) - til å bli en driver for mer innovasjon og utvikling av konkurransefordeler for norsk industri.


Å jobbe sammen med bedrifter for å minimere farlige kjemikalieinnhold i produkter er en måte Østfoldforskning bidrar til å nå målet om et miljøgiftfritt Norge innen 2020.
