In this episode, we hear a discussion from the Alternatives Assessment team at Stockholm University, comprising of the Prof. Ian Cousins (lead of WP2 Alternatives Assessment) and three of his PhD students, Luc Miaz, Eleni Savvidou and Romain Figuière. The team introduce their various projects that they have recently embarked on to find alternatives to PFAS and other persistent and mobile substances. Their ambitions are all centered around the expansion of a "use database" for the purposes of addressing essential use and how to avoid regrettable substitution, which will be made also with input from other members of ZeroPM.

Future episodes will be checking back in on them to hear about their progress towards developing approaches to phase away from persistent and mobile substances while avoiding regrettable substitution.
