Designing nickel-containing materials and products
Main sustainability challenges:
- To increase the durability/longevity of products
- To choose the appropriate material for the anticipated life cycle of the product
- To decrease the premature failure of products and systems
- To decrease the incidence of nickel allergy in the general population
- To decrease the dispersion/loss of nickel at the end-of-life of products
For every material for every application there will be an optimum material selection that favours sustainability. It is therefore important to have appropriate technical information and support.
