Introduction
European manufacturing is determined to provide by 2030 a robust foundation for the economic, social
and ecologically sustainable development of the European Union, which will contribute to increasing
sustainability in a global context. It is also expected that both nanotechnology and sustainability, will be
two important sources of differentiation and competitiveness for the European manufacturing industry
in the global market.
Although different definitions are used for the concept of sustainable manufacturing, there is no official
standardized one. The U.S. Department of Commerce [50] proposed in 2008 one of the first and most
widely used definitions of sustainable manufacturing: “the creation of manufactured products that use
processes that are non-polluting, conserve energy and natural resources, and are economically sound and
safe for employees, communities, and consumers”. This definition has supported other definitions such as
those produced by the US EPA [51] or ASTM [43].
Despite the fact that the concept of sustainability has been traditionally associated with an environmental
dimension, all these definitions highlight the three-dimensionality of sustainable manufacturing, that
encapsulates three basic dimensions: social, environment and economy.
In the literature review, different relevant initiatives on sustainable manufacturing can be found: the
European Commission (EC) [45] [46] [47] through the S3-Smart Specialization Platform [48], the US
Department of Commerce [49] [50], the US Environmental Protection Agency [51], the OECD through the
sustainable manufacturing toolkit [44], among others. Various methods, tools and metrics have been
applied for sustainability performance assessment in manufacturing. In the field of standardization,
several ISO standards, some of them adopted by CEN as European standards, address issues related to
sustainability such as quality [1] [2] [7], environment [3] [4], safety [35], responsibility, social,
governance, etc. Those can be applied to manufacturing processes to cover such sustainability items. In
this regard, standards developed by ASTM - Subcommittee E60.13 on Sustainable Manufacturing [43] are
of particular interest.
The sustainable manufacturing of nanotechnology supports the needs of the industry, contributes to the
industrial policies of the EU and promotes the technological leadership of Europe. At the same time, it
minimizes negative environmental impacts, conserves energy and natural resources, is safe for
employees, communities, and consumers, and is economically sound.
Pilot Lines (PLs) are strategic instruments of the European Commission to bridge the "valley of death",
and successfully introduce innovations based on Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) into the market. In
particular, in the field of nanotechnology, they are the embryo of tomorrow's nano-manufacturing
industry in Europe. Nanomanufacturing Pilot Lines (NPLs) are responsible for the potential impacts on
sustainability (social, environmental, economic) that their nanomanufacturing activities can produce.
The incorporation of sustainability requirements in these NPLs, from the first stages of design and
operation of the new processes, constitutes a proactive strategy to ensure equally sustainable future
commercial nanomanufacturing processes. Consequently, there is a need to define requirements to
guarantee the environmental, social and economic sustainability of these NPLs, considering at the same
time their embryonic and pre-commercial nature. This requires simple sustainability management
schemes easy to use and apply.
In this context, this document inserts the concept of sustainable manufacturing into the field of
nanotechnology, by proposing a new simplified conceptual framework to implement sustainability in
NPLs and evaluate their sustainable manufacturing performance. Our ambition is to contribute to the
deployment of more efficient and sustainable nano-manufacturing processes that enable the
manufacture of safer and more sustainable nanomaterials and nanoproducts, as the European
Commission recently pointed out.
The Sustainable Nanomanufacturing Framework (SNF) described in this document is based on the one
developed by the H2020 OASIS project OASIS “Open Access Single entry point for scale-up of Innovative
6

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
SIST-TP CWA 17935:2022
CWA 17935:2022(E)
Smart lightweight composite materials and components”. The OASIS model is a simple and user-friendly
screening tool designed to carry out the initial diagnosis, define the improvement plans and evaluate the
sustainability and evolution of NPLs. This framework has been tested in 12 NPLs of the OASIS project (GA
814581) and 7 NPLs of the INNOMEM project (GA 862630).
Annex A shows, using an example based on the OASIS NPL4, the practical application of the 10-step SNF
evaluation procedure described in this document. Annex B of this document shows the results
corresponding to the diagnosis and planning stages of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle in four of the
12 NPLs of OASIS Subsequently, the H2020 INNOMEM project “Open Innovation Test Bed for nano-
enabled Membranes”, also used the model to assess the sustainability of the NPLs incorporated in its
manufacturing ecosystem. Annex C of this document shows the results corresponding to the initial
diagnosis and planning stages in two NPLs of this last project.
The OASIS project has developed a simple software based on MS Excel (OASIS-SNF Tool) to automate the
practical application of the 10-step SNF evaluation procedure. This tool has been used by the project to
diagnose, implement, monitor and re-evaluate management practices and sustainability results in NPLs,
in conformity with the requirements of the SNF model. It is envisaged that a new version of the OASIS-
SNF Tool will be publicly available at the website of OASIS (https://project-oasis.eu/ ) at the end of the
project (November 2022).
The SNF was initially conceived and designed as a resilient model to be used in the broad scope of
sustainable manufacturing (SM), for any manufacturing process. However, given the scope of the OASIS
project, the primary model was later customized to be used in the field of sustainable nanomanufacturing
(SN).

1 Scope
This document describes and specifies the requirements of a simplified Sustainability
Nanomanufacturing Framework (SNF) for sustainability management in Nanomanufacturing Pilot Lines
(NPLs), appropriate to their size, management capabilities and sustainability priorities.
The SNF sets up the basic requirements for a screening methodology to quicky assess the sustainability
of a NPL. It provides guidance for diagnosis, implementation, and monitoring, to proactively improve
nano-sustainability performances in NPLs, considering its sustainability management and results.
The model can be used by NPLs to achieve its intended outcomes in the field of nano-sustainability.
The SNF is intended to be applied to any NPL regardless of its size, type and activities. Similarly, the model
could be scaled to manage the sustainability of a manufacturing area/plant that integrates multiple NPLs.
This document can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve the sustainability in NPLs.
