8 2. What is Industrial Symbiosis?

9 Symbiosis Definition: An interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association to the advantage of both Concise Oxford Dictionary, 8th Edition

10 What is Industrial Symbiosis? Numerous academic definitions... In essence: Industrial symbiosis is a systems approach to a more sustainable and integrated industrial economy that identifies business opportunities to improve resource utilisation (materials, energy, water, capacity, expertise, assets etc) Source: Lombardi and Laybourn (2012) Journal of Industrial Ecology 16(1)

11 Industrial Symbiosis Advances Sustainability Transition towards a circular system Linear system Products Natural Resources Products Waste Natural Resources Waste to Products Resource Natural Resources Change the perception of industries Enhancing business benefits and opportunities Increase environmental benefits

12 3. Model of delivery

13 How it works Really simple principle: making matches What do you HAVE? Unwanted resources What do you WANT? Resources you can use / process MATCHES are made + =

14 3. Resource / Opportunity Mapping

15 3. Resource Mapping

16 4. NISP Achievements (UK)

17 What NISP achieves NISP INCREASES NISP REDUCES Jobs Sales Learning Profits Innovation New business Inward investment Knowledge transfer Utilisation of assets Use of Virgin resources Use of water Hazardous waste CO 2 emissions Transport Pollution Landfill Costs Risk NISP helps create real business opportunity

18 UK NISP delivered Outcomes April 2005 March 2012 METRICS Total benefits if synergies last 1 year only* Total benefits if synergies last 5 years Landfill diversion 9 million tonnes 45 million tonnes CO 2 reduction 8 million tonnes 39 million tonnes Virgin material savings 12 million tonnes 58 million tonnes Hazardous waste eliminated 0.4 million tonnes 2 million tonnes Water savings 14 million tonnes 71 million tonnes Cost savings 243 million 1.21billion Additional sales 234 million 1.071billion Jobs 10,000+??? Private investment 374 million??? 40 million investment since 2005 *all outputs independently verified Rate Euro 1 = 1.18

22 European Policies Promote Industrial Symbiosis for Green Growth European Waste Framework Directive - Best Practice (2009) Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe (2011) exemplar case study DG Enterprise: Sustainable Industry-Going for Growth & Resource Efficiency (2011) exemplar case study DG Regions: Connecting Smart and Sustainable Growth through Smart Specialisation exemplar case study (2012) European Resource Efficiency Platform (2013) key recommendation DG Environment: Priority for industrial policy in (2013) recommendation DG Enterprise: Communique on Green Entrepreneurship (2013) Horizon 2020 (2014) included to deliver circular economy: Waste1

23 Industrial Symbiosis in Country Benefits Environmental, social and economic: Encourage segregation of waste Reduce dependency on fossil fuels in the Region Stimulate the generation of energy from biomass Adding value to waste Decreasing the use of natural resources Increasing recycling and efficient waste disposal Control and efficient disposal of hazardous wastes Increase in jobs Contribution to the creation of new standards and best practice Adding value to existing models and programmes: Inventory of industrial wastes generated in the Region Contribute to discussions on legislation
