This report, the second of its kind from ASINA project, aims at providing a roadmap with quantitative metrics for Safe(r) and (more) Sustainable by Design (SSbD) solutions for titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanomaterials (NMs). We begin with a brief description of ASINA's methodology across the product lifecycle, highlighting the quantitative elements, such as the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). We then propose a decision support tool for implementing SSbD objectives across various dimensions-functionality, cost, environment, and human health safety. This is followed by the main innovative findings, a consolidation of the technical processes involved, design rationales, experimental procedures, tools and models, used and developed, to deliver photocatalytic depolluting surfaces by spray- finishing techniques based on TiO2 NMs formulations. The roadmap is thoroughly described to inform similar projects through the integration of KPIs into SSbD methodologies, fostering data-driven decision-making. While specific results are beyond this report's scope, its primary aim is to demonstrate the roadmap (SSbD know-how) and promote SSbD-oriented innovation in nanotechnology. Finally, we provide a comparison of the approaches followed in two case studies that target different industrial sectors. This case-specific SSbD assessments provide a concrete exemplification of the addressed methodology that contributes to the efforts towards attaining a common roadmap for implementing SSbD solutions aligned with the EU's Green Deal objectives.
