Industrial Symbiosis

Grann, 1997 • The concept of Sustainable Development has brought about many and differing opinions as to what it means and how the concept should be translated into specific actions.

Biomimicry

A science that studies nature’s models and then imitates or takes inspiration from these designs and processes to solve human problems, e.g. a solar cell inspired by a leaf

Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Industrial Ecolgy Is the study of the flows of materials and energy in industrial and consumer activities, of the effects of these flows on the environment, and of the influences of economic, political, regulatory, and social factors of the flow, use and transformation of resources Robert White, Former President of the & Energy Systems Resource Management

Industrial Symbiosis

Industrial Symbiosis Is concept that engages traditionally separate industries in a collective approach to competitive advantage involving the physical exchange of materials, energy, water, and/or by-products (Chertow, 2000)

Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Eco - Industrial Park (EIP) Is a community of manufacturing and service businesses seeking enhanced environmental and economic performance through collaboration in managing environmental and resource issues including energy, water, and materials.

Eco - Industrial Park (EIP) cont’d

By working together, the community of businesses seeks a collective benefit that is greater than the sum of the individual benefits each company would realise if it optimised its individual performance only. (Lowe, 1997)

Industrial Symbiosis – A History • 1971 – Forrester, J. “Principles of Systems, 1968 and World Dynamics” • 1972 – Meadows, D. and Meadows, D. “Limits to Growth” • 1972 – Small Japanese group called “Industrial Ecology Working Group” publish 300 page document on Industrial Ecology • 1973 – Same group publish another report with case studies • 1977 – The term “Industrial Ecosystem” was first used in a paper presented by Preston Cloud at the Annual Meeting of the German Geological Association • 1983 – Group of Belgians publish “L’Ecosysteme Belgique: Essai d’Ecologie Industrielle” • 1989 – Frosch, R. and Gallopoulous, N., write “Strategies for Manufacturing” Resource Management & Energy Systems

Types & Classifications of Industrial Ecosystems

“Because of the resulting growing ambiguity in the significance of Eco-Industrial Park initiatives, a typology is desirable for entangling the confusion that is introduced.” - Lambert & Boons, 2002

Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Types & Classifications of Industrial Ecosystems

• Allenby, 1992: Types I – III • Chertow, 2000: Types 1 - 5

Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Allenby, 1992 Type I unlimited resources

unlimited waste

Type II ecosystem component energy and limited resources

limited waste

Type III ecosystem component energy

Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Allenby, 1992 – Type I

• Is linear • A large constant supply of raw materials is required • This system is unsustainable Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Allenby, 1992 – Type II

• • • •

Is partially cyclic Reduced materials and energy required Reduced waste produced Characterises most present day industrial systems

Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Allenby, 1992 – Type III

• Is highly integrated and closed • All by-products constantly used and recycled • Represents a sustainable state • Is the ideal goal of Industrial Ecology

Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Chertow, 2000 Through waste exchanges • Type 1 Within a facility, firm or • Type 2 organisation Among firms co-located in a • Type 3 defined Eco Industrial Park Among local firms that aren’t co• Type 4 located Across firms organised virtually • Type 5 across a broader region

Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Chertow, 2000 – Type 1 Waste Flow Business

Broker

Manufacturer

• Waste only is exchanged • A middleman / broker involved • E.g. of Brokers: Age Concern, NISP, municipalities, e.t.c Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Chertow, 2000 – Type 2 • Synergies are between separate arms of one company • E.g. Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI)

Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Chertow, 2000 – Type 3 • Exchanges are between firms in a defined Industrial Ecosystem • Firms are more involved usually sharing utilities as well as general management of the Industrial Ecosystem • E.g. Montfort Boys Town Integrated Biosystem in Fiji

Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Chertow, 2000 – Type 4 • Firms are local but not colocated • Takes advantage of structures already in place within a particular area • Links existing businesses with opportunities to link new ones

Resource Management & Energy Systems

Industrial Symbiosis

Chertow, 2000 – Type 5 • Firms are not local • Are mostly virtually linked • Economic impact covers a wider region • Potential for by-product exchanges greatly increased
