3 Our Mission is to support organizations in the creation of a more sustainable future Formed in 1999; Larry Chalfan, Executive Director; 14 associates Providing needed services: Management support e.g. EMS support Technical services Training and education A program of the International Sustainable Development Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit Following Nature’s model… Zero Waste Alliance

PPRC is the Northwest Region’s leading non-profit that provides practical, on-the-ground technical assistance to businesses, public agencies, and non-profits that are seeking to conserve resources and improve economic performance Pollution Prevention Resource Center (PPRC)

Est. in 1990 as an alternative to building new hazardous waste disposal sites in the region Serve EPA Region 10 (WA, OR, ID and AK) Provide pollution prevention (P2) information resources, research and networking Support for Technical Service Providers in federal, state and local government and industry PPRC

What’s still in the waste stream??

12 Creating an Input-Output Diagram Step 1.Define your ‘fenceline’ with key operations Step 2.Identify key activities for each operation Step 3.Identify inputs and outputs of each activity and associated environmental impacts

13 Step 1 - Define your Fenceline Create Top Level Input/Output (I/O) Diagram The Organization fenceline Resources Products By-products Waste Operations

14 Steps 2 and 3: Identify Key Activities Create I/O Diagram for Each Operation Operation Resources Products By-products Waste Activities

Northwest By-Product Synergy Network Est U.S. Business Council for Sustainable Development model Facilitated approach Paying members Puget Sound focus Approx 15 Organizations

Charter Members Canyon Creek Cabinets Cascade Designs ConocoPhillips Cook Composites and Polymers Genie Industries Grays Harbor Paper Company King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks Solid Waste Division LaFarge Cement Leader International Nucor Steel Phillips Services Port of Seattle Seattle Public Utilities Shell Puget Sound Refinery Snohomish County Public Works Terra Matters Tri-Vitro Corporation

Network Activities Large Community Meetings Membership Confidentiality Targeted working groups Regulatory advisors

NW BPS has documented the following savings $393,000+ annual savings 2,489 metric tons CO 2 equivalent emissions avoided annually 3,663 tons of material diverted annually 66+ tons of material not purchased

Eastern WA Industrial Materials Exchange Sponsored by Boise Paper Initially facilitated by PPRC Grass roots Ag community Approx 20 participants “Speed Dating”!

Eastern WA Industrial Materials Exchange Companies included; Furniture company Wineries Fertilizer manufacturing Animal feed Other manufacturing Landscapers, etc

Eastern WA Industrial Materials Exchange (Ray Lam) Tallow Material was soaked into chips and dried for a day, and used as fuel Neighbor avoided about $1,000,000 in landfill fees Received about $250 K in fuel Reuse metals and wire -used to recycle Don’t purchase what we have in the recycle bins – stainless piping $1.50 received vs. $7.50 paid per lb for stainless pipe Selling copper wire back as wire vs. copper Selling papermachine felts- $50/each vs. disposal

National Industrial Symbiosis Project U.K. NISP is a free business opportunity programme that delivers bottom line, environmental and social benefits and is the first industrial symbiosis initiative in the world to be launched on a national scale.

NISP Most successful exchange project in world? Gov’t funded No barrier to participation Now in it’s 5 th year DEFTRA funds 5 million (British Pound)/year= $8,132,415 Dollars

NISP Results May 09 Press Release Reduced national industrial carbon emissions 5.2 million tonnes Diverted 5.2 million tonnes of industrial waste Prevented the use of 7.9 tonnes of virgin materials Attracted £116 million in private investment in reprocessing and recycling Generated £151 new sales for members Saved £131 for members Eliminated 357,000 tonnes of hazardous waste Saved 9.4 million gallons of industrial wastewater
