Symbiosis
‘An interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association to the
advantage of both’
Concise Oxford Dictionary, 8th Edition
What is ‘Industrial Symbiosis’ ?
Modified from Chertow, Yale 2000
“Industrial symbiosis engages traditionally separate industries and other organisations in a collective approach to competitive advantage involving physical exchanges of materials, energy, water and/or by products together with collaboration on the shared use of assets, logistics, experts and knowledge transfer.”

Tyre wire processing…
• Steel manufacturer - London• Tyre reprocessor - Cambridge
– Stockpiles of problematic wire– High value outlet identified– New processing and baling technology
implemented– 6,800 tonnes of tyre wire processed– Alternative process for stripping and baling
installed
Outcomes:• 6,800 tonnes per annum of steel reprocessed
• 13,396 tonnes of CO2 reduced
• Water savings of >250,000 tonnes water using recycled steel over virgin steel
Dismantling and recycling of ‘digipak’ cd cases (HM Prison Service & Sony DADC (UK) Ltd)
• Sony DADC (UK) Ltd unable to find a cost-effective recycling solution for surplus ‘digipak’ cd and dvd cases
• Difficult product to recycle – the plastic inner case is glued to the card outer
• HM Prison Service can provide many industrial services through their contract workshops
• Nearby prison was able to dismantle the ‘digipak’ cases yielding two valuable recycling streams
Outcomes:• Cost neutral for Sony• >£6,000 in new sales for HMPS• 342 CO2e Te emissions reduced• 40 Te p.a. waste diverted
Hostas to Hospices
• HMP Ford is an open prison with work opportunities for inmates

• At a workshop in Crawley, the prison service found that they were able to give the plants to 2 hospices
Foundry Sand High Quality Synergy
• Foundry Sand used in some foundries for the cast metal moulds
• Sand is reused each time, however the useful life is limited
• Spent sand is sent to landfill • NISP found that the spent
sand could be used as an alternative to virgin aggregates
• MJ Allen and Hanson• Creasey Castings and H
Sivyer Transport
What our members have said…
• “I know you will be keen to hear that one of your contacts presented us with the best solution, and would like to thank you for enabling the use of NISP resource to help me arrive at this conclusion for our acrylic waste.”
Mike Walters, Operations Manager, John Lewis & Waitrose
• “NISP has recently put GLASSeco Limited in touch with several useful contacts. The NISP team had an immediate grasp of our business and a practical understanding of the type of help we needed. We have dealt with numerous government-funded bodies recently but NISP was, by far, the most refreshing agency and the ONLY one that actually delivered what it said it could...
Donald Crawley, Joint Managing Director, GLASSeco Limited
Message from NISP Director…
“Those businesses that have embedded the industrial symbiosis approach into their company’s strategy have made significant savings and boosted profits by managing their resources in a more efficient way”

How it works…
Really simple principle: it’s all about making matches!
• Everyone writes stuff they ‘HAVE’ and ‘WANT’ on the slips provided• These are circulated to all tables in the room and MATCHES made!• NISP facilitators on each table are there to drive the process
What do you ‘HAVE’?
Unwanted resources, services on offer etc.
What do you ‘WANT’?
Materials, space, services etc
HAVES and WANTS
So what sort of stuff are we talking about?
‘Waste’ materials such as:– Plastic– Wood– Metal– Glass– Biodegradable – food & green waste– Textiles– Construction materials– Electrical equipment
HAVES and WANTS
Solutions / new uses for ‘waste’:– Re-use– Segregation & dismantling– Recycling– Processing
• Composting• Anaerobic digestion• Thermal treatment
– Space / land / storage– Manufacturing– Expertise– Transport
What happens now
First 15 minutes:
• Introductions & exchange business cards• Fill in your ‘HAVE’ slips (left hand side)
