9 Industrial symbiosis addresses climate change mi>ga>on (COP21) Input savings Process savings Fuel substitution Transport savings Disposal savings Energy Savings Lower embedded energy in processing recycled materials than virgin raw materials Savings in gas, electricity or other fuel use by one of the synergy partners principally through innovation Replacing fossil fuels with other non fossil fuel sources in industrial processes Reduction in transport directly associated with synergies Reduction in biodegradable material sent to landfill Production of energy through, for example, anaerobic digestion and utilisation of waste heat

10 OECD Iden>fies Industrial Symbiosis as Cri>cal to Green Growth Agenda OECD declared industrial symbiosis a la NISP to be an excellent example of systemic innova>on vital for future green growth Produc>on Process Eco- efficiency Lifecycle Management Closed- loop Produc>on Industrial Symbiosis Pollu>on Control Product & Service Cleaner Produc>on Green products Eco- design New business models New modes of provision Mass applica>on Organisa>onal Boundary Incremental Innova>on Systemic Innova>on

11 Facilitated Industrial Symbiosis a la NISP : Circular Economy in Ac>on Success factors: Practitioners with industrial experience Engagement model (all sectors, all sizes) Holistic approach: resources, materials, energy, capacity, expertise, logistics Data + ICT Synergie (Lombardi and Laybourn, J. Industrial Ecology) Impacts: Eco-Innovation Jobs, green growth Improved business processes Best practice sharing and cascading Regional economic development

12 Partnerships are key to maximise opportuni>es Regional Development Agencies (Local Enterprise Partnerships) Environment Agency/Regulator Universi0es as innova0ve solu0on providers Knowledge Transfer Networks (Catapults) Public sector investment for facilita0on

13 Some challenges Poor implementa0on (we know the reasons) Dogma if industry benefits they should pay Short term investment Percep0on all about waste To date H2020 not really helpful Not enough champions

29 Heinz Leuenberger Former Director of Environmental Branch UNIDO The concept of industrial symbiosis is indispensable to the long- term development of global industry in all countries of the world. Developing economies around the world can achieve a more sustainable industrial development trajectory and move their economies towards a circular model more rapidly by taking advantage of the opportuni0es inherent in this approach.
