2 Industrial Symbiosis research Dedicated research & MSc and PhD education on industrial symbiosis in order to support practical implementation of IS for bio-based and circular economies through cocreation of knowledge and capacitation of key stakeholders. Development determinants Outcomes Facilitation methods/tools Team has 17+ years of experience with research and practice in Europe & Sweden Since 2012 uncovered 20+ Ind sym networks & maintain a web-portal of Swedish cases; Actively involved in multiple regional Ind Sym development projects Leading the efforts of developing Swedish and Nordic Ind Sym networks

4 Growing, inter-connected challenges Competitive industries Resource & environmental pressures Viable urban & rural systems

5 Traditionally... Progress with such sector-specific (silo) approach is important and necessary but is insufficient and misses a significant opportunities.

9 This tomato speaks for it Comparable price & quality and superior environmental performance x 20 CO2 reduction over Swedish average x 50 CO2 reduction over fossil-based production CO2 Pulp Mill Vodka/Ethanol Production Heat

10 Industrial Symbiosis Multi-party, cross-sectoral and (often) geographically concentrated resource management collaborations that meet industrial and societal needs more sustainably by: creating improved value from secondary resources; developing more efficient and effective products, services, and utilities.

14 Nordic Countries - Rich in examples

15 Outcomes Reduced input & residue management costs Reduced waste & emissions Increased share of renewable & biobased resources Reduced overall resource demand More value from local/ regional resources Improved colloborative innovation capabilities Reduced fossil & external resource dependence Cheaper & better services Job creation/ preservation Improved environmental quality Increased local tax base

16 For circular and bio-based economies Industrial symbiosis offers a process (the means) for effective progress towards desired outcomes.

17 Industrial symbiosis as a means/process New ideas with additional improvement potential are identified Industry competitiveness Development prospects of identified options are enhanced Innovative collaborations & Collaborative innovations Resource & Environmental pressures Sustainable urban development

18 Growing interest in facilitation With a strong focus on developing new businesses and transforming existing systems
