TOXIC CONTROL

Safer materials as a driver of project quality

Reduce health risks and make safer material choices for your project.

The strategic shift

Hazardous substances, from VOCs in paints to toxic adhesives and sealants, remain a hidden liability in construction and building management. They affect the health of workers and occupants, increase insurance costs and reduce asset value.

Switching to less toxic, high-performance alternatives is a direct way to de-risk your projects, meet regulatory requirements and respond to growing ESG expectations from investors.

What GoEko covers

Less toxic substitutes

VOC-reduced paints, natural wood oils, bio-based adhesives, sealants, and related solutions. Find alternatives that deliver comparable performance with a reduced chemical footprint.

Air quality monitoring

Smart sensors that track gases and particulates in real time, turning hidden risks into actionable data for building managers and construction teams.

Certified component sourcing

Identify alternative materials for everyday building applications that reduce hazardous substance exposure.

Regulations apply

Restrictions on hazardous substances in construction are tightening across Europe. GoEko maps applicable regulations by region so you stay informed and anticipate upcoming restrictions on prohibited materials.
