• Markets for traditional recyclates are well established
• Industrial symbiosis is creating the market for a broader class of
resources
• External drivers stimulating mainstream transformation
• New commercial model is as yet unclear

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

• Immediate demand pull of R&D and technology innovation (including design)
• University of Birmingham study found a high level of
innovation in synergies - 50% involved best available practice - 20% involved new research and development

Eco-innovation in products
Key stage for school dinners
• Challenge: food waste going to landfill
• Solution: “Grott Box”, waterproof
cardboard box with wax layer and snug lid,
entirely biodegradable, used to collect
food waste from schools
• 20,000 primary and 4,000 Secondary
Schools = potentially 50-75,000 tonnes per
year of food waste from these sources
alone

Eco-innovation in process
Recovering Precious Metals from X-Ray films • Challenge: Change to X-ray films made existing
process ineffective
• Solution: Engage with University innovation
providers to change to process
• Parties involved: Betts Envirometal, University of
Birmingham & International Synergies IS network
• CO2-eq reduction (24 kt) • Eco-Innovation and Green Growth • Materials security • Regional Economic Development (11 jobs)

Eco-innovation in business process
• Challenge: effectively managing
opportunities for reuse deriving from many
partners
• Solution: ISL created a common Workspace
and Compliance Checklist for assessing local
solution providers and new suppliers
The results include:
•Diversion from landfill: 73260 tonnes
•CO2 reduction: 168 tonnes
•Cost savings: £76077 per year
