Industrial symbiosis is about businesses coming together to create a cycle where one company’s by-products fuel another’s production, leading to less waste, more savings, and a planet-friendly approach to industry. Think of it as the ultimate team-up, where everyone wins, including the Earth.
What We Are Looking For
We’re on the hunt for projects that embody the spirit of Industrial Symbiosis—those that turn one company’s trash into another’s treasure. We want to see:
Innovative partnerships that stretch across industries, creating new life from what was once considered waste.
Projects that show measurable benefits, proving that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand.
Creative approaches that inspire others to see the endless potential in every by-product and leftover.
The Baltic region is already home to some incredible innovators who are turning the concept of waste on its head. By highlighting this new category, we aim to spark even more collaboration and creativity across industries, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainability.
Inspiring Examples
Here are some global examples that perfectly illustrate the power of Industrial Symbiosis:
Kalundborg Symbiosis (Denmark): Companies share resources like heat and by-products, turning waste into value and reducing environmental impact.
NISP (UK): A network where businesses exchange waste materials, turning them into raw inputs for others, saving costs and cutting emissions.
Zerowaste Scotland: Repurposing brewery waste as animal feed or bioenergy, reducing landfill use while creating economic value.
