OECD Identifies Industrial Symbiosis as
Critical to Growth Agenda
OECD recently declared industrial symbiosis ‘a la NISP’ to be “an
excellent example of systemic innovation vital for future green growth”

Industrial symbiosis transforms individual
businesses: John Pointon & Sons Ltd
• Pre – NISP: animal renderer
• Initial NISP engagement: by-products diverted from landfill to
cement industry
• Second stage: improve efficiency of processes
• Third stage: move into bio-fuels
• Fourth stage: anaerobic digestion and grid connection
• Result: new vision as energy company (same inputs!)
Elements of Industrial Symbiosis
• Cross-sector engagement
• Yields 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
• Fosters eco-innovation and long-term culture change
• Delivers economic, environmental and social benefits
(including mitigation of climate change and energy security)
Chinese President Hu Jintao
18th Party Congress November 2012
“We will have a large scale circular economy and
considerably increase the proportion of renewable
energy resources in total consumption...”
“ We must give prominence to building a resource –
conserving and environmentally friendly society...”
Key tasks to introduce a Circular Economy to
China identified as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Optimise spatial layout
Optimise industrial structure
Realise zero emissions through chain optimisation
Efficient utilisation of resources
Centralised treatment of pollutants
Green infrastructure
Standardisation of administration, operation and
management of parks
Recent European Policy and action to promote
industrial symbiosis:
• Best Practice under the European Waste Framework Directive (2009)
• DG Environment “Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe (2011)”
• DG Enterprise “Sustainable Industry-Going for Growth & Resource
Efficiency (2011)”
• European Climate Knowledge and Innovation Community (2012)
• European Resource Efficiency Platform (2012)
European policy converging with China’s ...
“The new industrial policy update launched
recently includes practical proposals for industrial
symbiosis schemes across Europe...industrial
symbiosis will be one of our priorities in 2013”
Commissioner Potočnik, in a speech to the
Business Europe Advisory Board and Support Group
October 2012
June 2012, Birmingham, UK

Four Global Themes - Recommendations
• Climate Change Mitigation:
Incentivise carbon reductions through Industrial Symbiosis credits
• Eco-Innovation and Green Growth:
Foster demand-led innovation through Industrial Symbiosis
Networks
• Materials Security:
Move materials up the waste hierarchy through Industrial
Symbiosis Innovation
• Regional Economic Development:
Close local loops through Industrial Symbiosis planning

Opportunity for further collaboration through
Global Green Growth Forum (3GF)
• Founded by governments of Mexico, South Korea, Denmark
• Joined in 2012 by China, Kenya, Qatar
• International Synergies invited to discuss NISP at:
3GF strategy meeting in March 2012
3GF forum in October 2012
• Public Private Partnerships around industrial symbiosis
proposed as key theme for 3GF in 2013
Climate Change
Mitigation and Energy Security
Support for NISP from Prince Charles
“We will only meet the challenge of catastrophic
climate change by working in partnership and I would
like to thank NISP for all that you do to foster these
relationships, with warmest best wishes”
- His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales
(2010)
2010: Financial Times Managing Climate Change
One company’s waste
may turn out to be
suitable fuel for
another, says
Sarah Murray
“If companies can make
use of waste, it will be a
big benefit”

International Synergies’ role in the future of
Industrial Symbiosis in China
• Industrial Symbiosis delivers on:
• Circular economy
• Green growth through innovation
• Climate change mitigation
'
• Pollution and waste reduction
• In China many success criteria are already in place (Circular
Economy Law, experience of TEDA etc.)
• Build on success through an industrial symbiosis multi province
or national programme for China
• International Synergies Limited is helping!
