TOXICITY CONTROL
Safer materials as a driver of project quality
Reduce health risks, support compliance, 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 the growing expectations of tenants and investors.
What GoEko covers
GoEko connects you with vetted alternatives that match traditional performance without the chemical footprint:
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
Materials that meet the requirements of leading green building standards. Identify alternatives for everyday building components 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.
Key Benefits
Health and liability
Identifying relevant less toxic alternatives early helps you reduce health and liability risks and anticipate upcoming restrictions on hazardous substances.
