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)

Elements of Industrial Symbiosis

• Network of diverse organisations

• 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

What is a Synergy?

A Synergy is a single Industrial Symbiosis

transaction between two or more

Organisations, (companies, research bodies,

Government), that generally benefits all parties

plus the environment

Models of Industrial Symbiosis

Differ in...

• Lifetime/Duration

• Driver/Initial impulse

• Role of facilitation

• Scale

But share...

• Economic, environmental and social benefits

• Cross‐sector engagement

Two main themes:• Metals recovery• Low‐carbon fuels

Three time frames:• Today – both partners and resource flow exist• Tomorrow – technology is known but a partner is missing• Future: innovation potential

Future Vision: Integrating themes and time frames to develop an integrated resource recovery system with innovation centres.
