2 Why a resource revolution Source:(FootprintNetwork.org Source: Reserve Bank of Australia

3 Key societal challenges Maintaining/improving business competitiveness Securing sustainable urban development Reducing environmental impact Conventional way of dealing with these

4 Key societal challenges Maintaining/improving business competitiveness Securing sustainable urban development Reducing environmental impact Conventional way of dealing with these

5 Why a resource revolution Global middle class: 1980 = 1.1 billion 2009 = 1.85 billion billion Factor 4 Factor 10 Factor 20 improvements needed McKinsey Global Institute, 2011

6 Key societal challenges Maintaining/improving business competitiveness Securing sustainable urban development Reducing environmental impact We need to think & act in new ways Resource efficiency improvements in mature industrial systems is < 5% per year

7 An inspiring tomato Equal or better quality & economic performance But superior environmental performance x 20 CO2 reduction over Swedish average x 50 CO2 reduction over fossil-based production

8 Innovative collaborations CO2 Pulp Mill Vodka/Ethanol Production Heat

9 Industry park of Sweden, Helsingborg Competitively priced, low CO2 district heating Demin water Energy center ~ 300 GWh/y Cooling Double digit percentage of revenues

10 Industrial symbiosis

11 Industrial symbiosis Materials Products Energy Water Byproduct Wastes

12 Industrial symbiosis

13 Industrial and urban symbiosis Intellectual & organizational capita

14 Industrial and Urban Symbiosis Collaborative processes for collective resource management where diverse actors jointly identify and develop solutions that create additional economic, environmental and social value, among others, by: turning under-utilised or wasted resources into productive inputs; developing more efficient and effective shared utility and service solutions; facilitating and enabling innovation. Resulting in Business competitiveness environmental performance Local/regional development

25 Typical characteristics Materials Energy Products Conventional, and often fossil based, production becomes more efficient Water Wastes Byproducts Limited systemic change

26 Circular and bio-based economies Derive as much of the required energy from renewable sources Sustainably increase the share of bio-based resources in the economy Keep materials feasibly in productive use with an eye on quality & minimal emission to natural system

27 Challenges for circular & bio-based businesses Resources of interest are typically: Dispersed Highly heterogenous Low value/volume ratio Resulting in Energy intensive collection and processing Low conversion efficiency (for singular outputs) Diverse by-products Limited long-distance transport Limited scope for scale economies Important enablers through Ind Sym Economies of Scope Economies of Networking

55 Identify and engage others Financial institutions Business partners Policy makers at higher levels Technology providers Entrepreneurs

56 To conclude Industry competitiveness Local/regional collaboration among diverse actors hold a significant and under-utilized potential for contributing to more sustainable businesses, regions and economies Innovative collaborations Harvesting this potential requires new ways of thinking and acting with particular focus on intersectoral and inter-organizational communication and interaction. Bio-based & circular economies Collaborative innovations Sustainable urban development Systemic approaches are effective in accelerating progress, but need action from diverse actors and at different levels
