Aspects related to techno-economic feasibility, to operational costs, etc.
Note this class redefined in PR https://github.com/PINK-project/PINK-annotation-schema/pull/15
There are important considerations to be made in the context of SSbD such as the 'availability' of raw materials, as chemicals/materials cannot be declared SSbD if the raw materials to produce them are not renewable or are (very) scarce and extracted and processed in an unsustainable manner. Economic aspects play a role when there is a need to rank chemicals and materials based on SSbD criteria (even if they are not SSbD). However, mainly externalities consideration is at stake in a sustainability framework like the SSbD one.
The ability to conserve natural resources and protect global ecosystems to support human health and wellbeing, within the limits of our Planet
Assessing environmental sustainability implies to assess the environmental impacts generated by chemicals/materials along the entire life cycle to move towards: · A toxic-free environment as stated in the CSS (i.e. minimising the total toxicity footprint in terms of ecotoxicity and human toxicity13 - at each stage of the production and consumption life cycle, originated not only by the assessed chemical or material, but also by all the chemicals that are emitted along the life cycle14) (EC, 2020a); · A climate-neutral economy (i.e. minimising the emission of greenhouse gases along the life cycle) (EC, 2019b); · A resource efficient economy and a regenerative economy (i.e. using natural resources in a sustainable manner, minimising inputs and waste generation, and providing more benefits than burdens) (EC, 2020b); · The reduction of biodiversity loss and the conservation of ecosystem functioning, addressing the main drivers of structural and functional biodiversity loss (e.g. land use, climate change) (EC, 2020c);

Human helth and environmental safety aspects of chemicals and materials.
In the context of chemicals assessment, safety could be referring to a certain condition where a stressor (e.g. a chemical) is unlikely to cause any adverse effect to a receptor (e.g. humans and other organisms) (more related to intrinsic hazard properties of the stressor) or where a receptor is protected from risk (more related to control measures or mechanisms to minimise exposure to the stressor). In any case, the term safe involves receptors, and with that generally also requires the consideration of the contact (i.e. exposure) between stressors and receptors as addressed in a risk assessment context.
A globally agreed list of objectives and targets to be pursued for achieving sustainable development.
