4 Elements of industrial symbiosis Network of diverse organisations Expert facilitation Fostering eco-innovation and long-term culture change Yielding profitable transactions in: - Novel sourcing of inputs - Value added destinations for non-product outputs - Improved business and technical processes Lombardi & Laybourn, 2012, Journal of Industrial Ecology 16(1):28-37

5 Industrial symbiosis delivers Resource efficiency Demand-led innovation SME engagement Landfill diversion Water savings Carbon emissions reduction Virgin material savings Jobs Cascading of best practice Increased sales & reduced costs Profits (often) leading to tax revenues

6 Driving factors Profit Competitiveness Environment Cost Jobs Education Risk Growth Poverty Alleviation For Business For Economies For Society

8 SDGs and Industrial Symbiosis SDGs form part of a new global sustainable development agenda, with all countries taking action and developed countries leading. Industrial symbiosis supports a number of the Goals (see below); in particular Goal 12, ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns through the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources by 2030 (target12.2), and substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse (target 12.5). SDG 8 SDG 9 SDG 12 SDG 14 SDG 17 Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns Conserve and sustainably use oceans, seas and marine resources Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development

11 Climate Change (COP21 & INDCs) Savings Inputs Processes Fuel substitution Transport Disposal Energy How achieved Lower embedded energy in processing recycled materials than extracting virgin raw materials Savings in gas, electricity and other fuel use by synergy partners, principally through innovation Replacing fossil fuels with other fuel sources in industrial processes Reduction in transport directly related to implementation of synergies Reduction in biodegradable material sent to landfill Production of energy through, for example, anaerobic digestion and utilisation waste heat

12 Role in green growth & innovation agendas OECD declared industrial symbiosis a la NISP to be an excellent example of systemic innovation vital for green growth Production Process Ecoefficiency Lifecycle Management Closed-loop Production Industrial Symbiosis Pollution Control Product & Service Cleaner Production Green products Ecodesign New business models New modes of provision Mass application Organisational Boundary Incremental Innovation Systemic Innovation

29 In conclusion Industrial symbiosis for Africa is: An excellent model to help deliver the SDGs A flexible tool contributing to several global agendas Ideally delivered at regional level with national coordination providing added value and efficiencies Available today implementers can learn from our (and others) experience and tools Providing an excellent return on investment An opportunity to leapfrog Scaling up what works is the best strategy for green growth Global Green Growth Forum (3GF)

30 Global acknowledgement The concept of industrial symbiosis is indispensible 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 opportunities inherent in this approach.
