Key Definitions Zero waste “Zero waste is a goal that is both pragmatic and visionary, to guide people to emulate sustainable natural cycles, where all discarded materials are resources for others to use. Zero waste means designing and managing products and processes to reduce the volume and toxicity of waste and materials as close to zero as possible, conserve and recover all resources, and not burn or bury them. Successful Implementation of zero waste will eliminate all discharges to land, water or air that may be a threat to planetary, human, animal or plant health. In industry the goal of zero waste will be accomplished with the aid of industrial symbiosis and new technologies.” ZeroWIN Literature Review (Deliverable 1.1).
Key Definitions No universal definition of an industrial network IN historically have developed over time, key factors: –ad hoc purpose of industries in network and nearby; –Local natural conditions: opportunities and constraints (e.g. proximity to water supply); –Economic valuation of location; affected by many other factors, including local infrastructure, proximity to skilled labour, transport links, distance to markets and materials suppliers; –Ethos and drive of key entrepreneurs in network; and –Influence of local and national political will - taxes levied and environmental standards enforced
Bilbao Workshop Aims To obtain ZeroWIN partners’ agreement on: the scope and boundaries of an industrial network (for the purposes of ZeroWIN) the concepts, methods and tools for inclusion in ZeroWIN (mind map) Agree the approach to development/implementation of the joint vision of the ZeroWIN project –Includes agreeing format and timescales for Vision Conference
ZeroWIN scope and boundaries scenarios 6 different scenarios are presented for ZeroWIN “industrial networks” Black arrows represent interactions within stream Blue arrows represent interactions from down- to up-stream Red arrows represent interactions from up- to down-stream Orange lines represent a boundary limit for industrial networks ; dashed lines suggest a potential variation Grey dotted lines in the upstream box are representations of industrial symbiosis (by-products (materials/energy/water) and wastes from the manufacture stage being used by other manufacturers) Also IPR/take-back schemes are not illustrated (yet) Refurbishment is meant to incorporate re-manufacture, reuse, repair We think EC had Scenario 5 in mind when Call was written

ZeroWIN Scope and Boundary EXTRACTION OF RAW MATERIALS DESIGN CONSUMERS MATERIAL SUPPLIERS RETAILERS MANUFACTURERS RAW MATERIALS RECYCLERS REFURBISHERS DISMANTLERS DISPOSAL (???) Zero Waste – No disposal! NOTES: The diagram represents a network of potentially diverse industries working together in symbiosis. The transport associated with material, product and waste flows are implied within the arrows. ‘Manufacturers’ is taken to include construction activities (something is produced). ‘Dismantlers’ is taken to include Materials Recycling Facilities, demolition activities and automotive dismantling activities. ‘Refurbishers’ is taken to include remanufacture, re-use and repair activities. ‘Manufacturers’ appears twice, to represent those that make individual/basic products and those that integrate materials, components and other products to create more complex products or services, for example construction sites and the automotive industry. Manufacturers produce final products but they also create waste materials/sub-products that shall be considered (blue dotted arrows). IPR/take-back scheme flows are not indicated to avoid confusion, but they are expected. Red arrows indicate downstream, post-consumer flows.

Your Views are Important The ZeroWIN Vision is currently an “Internal Vision” We want the views of external stakeholders –Is this the right approach? –Are the scope and boundaries correct? –Are the identified concepts correct? –Are we using the right language for business and industry? –Will it work in your sector? Why? Why not? –How can we improve the vision? Views of key stakeholders (speakers) Breakout and discussion sessions Feedback, dissemination and continued involvement
