  1. IN ENGLAND Rob Bresler – Senior Practitioner NISP East of England

  2. What is Symbiosis? ‘An interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association to the advantage of both’ Concise Oxford Dictionary, 8th Edition

  3. What is ‘Industrial Symbiosis’ ? “Industrial symbiosis engages traditionally separate industries and other organisations in a network to foster innovative strategies for more sustainable resource use (including materials, energy, water, assets, expertise, logistics etc.) Through the network, business opportunities are identified leading to mutually advantageous transactions for innovative sourcing of required inputs, and value-added destinations for non-product outputs.” [Lombardi & Laybourn, submitted]

  4. Industrial Symbiosis Industrial symbiosis is based on the same principle governing the natural eco-system All resources (including materials, energy, water, logistics and asset utilisation) fulfill a specific role in an industrial process and once used are recovered, reprocessed or modified and reused elsewhere in the industrial network before the cycle starts again. Circular System Traditional Process • NISP accelerates the transition toward the circular economy

  5. NISP INCREASES Jobs Sales Learning Bottom line Innovation New business Inward investment Knowledge transfer Utilisation of assets What can NISP achieve with you? NISP REDUCES Use of Virgin resources Use of potable water Hazardous waste CO2 emissions Transport Pollution Landfill Costs Risk Connecting industry – creating opportunity
