1. It’s Not Waste… 10 th November 2008 : Nigel Holmes

2. What is Industrial Symbiosis Establishing networks IS in Practice : Outputs Team Profile Priorities for 2008-10 Sectors & Materials ‘Difficult’ Materials Delivery Partners Zero Waste - Opportunity Presentation Overview Alistair at work…

3. What is NISP? National programme: launched in July 2005 FREE resource efficiency support NISP Scotland funded by Scottish Government Creating sustainable procurement and consumption patterns that reduce dependency on virgin resources Use IS to reduce costs and additional business Waste or spare resource becomes a saleable by-product or resource input for another company

4. ‘Cradle to Grave’ Traditional linear supply chain ‘Wastes’ end up in landfill

5. Symbiosis Networks Build networks, find Synergies Between company support

6. Identify Synergy Opportunities What resources are being underused? Need to know : Location Quantities Specifications, EWC classification Timing (project, batch, or continuous) Restrictions (commercial, regulatory, technical, etc) Information gathered to identify synergy opportunities : From direct contact, visits, or referrals From ‘Synergy Workshops’ and other NISP events

7. Distillery Resources WASTE HEAT SPENT GRAIN Whisky Distillery TRANSPORT GREY WATER OAK BARRELS CARBON DIOXIDE POT ALE

8. Industrial Symbiosis Examples Transfer heat to neighbouring site for space heating agriculture or aquaculture Whisky Distillery Sell for animal feed Extract Proteins Fuel Source Transfer to neighbouring site Pot ale processing Use for making garden furniture Use to smoke fish Fuel source Backhaul opportunity Warehouse location

9. IS in Practice : Scotland Outputs Highlights from 2007-08 landfill diversion 46,265 tonnes CO 2 reduction 28,279 tonnes Cost savings £558,775 Additional sales £674,974 (2007-08 Landfill diversion target was 35,000 te) 8,750 te Tarmac planings from Edinburgh Tram project

10. Example Synergies 8,750 te road planings from TIE tram project 6,000 te paper mill sludge to IVC 9,000 te fibre sludge to composting 6,000 te canal dredgings to composting 550 te zoo dung to compost and back as topsoil 2500 te tyre fibre to arena surfacing 2000 te off-spec soda ash to cement works 24 te bananas for composting

11. Overall Priorities for 2008-10 Not just highnn tonnage materials Increased focus on ‘difficult’ materials Priority sectors for NISP Scotland 2008-10 –Food/Drink : Whisky & Fish –Oil, Gas, & Chemicals –Construction & Infrastructure Projects Sectors reflect Scotland key industries Avoid overlap, building links with Envirowise & WRAP Priority Industry

12. Specific Priorities 2008-10 Specific Scotland priorities set by Scottish Government : Commercial food wastes Fish wastes Decommissioned Oil Rigs Drilling Muds Waste Oils and Solvents Industrial Plastics Large Scale construction Projects Brent Spar Fish Wastes Drilling Muds

13. Current Projects Food & Drink –Work with SFDF on member support for Zero Waste –Whisky sector new build projects Oil, Gas & Chemicals –Outlets for remediated drilling muds –Plastics Refinery project –Biofuels synergies, EfW Construction –M74 alternative materials –FRC scope for recyclate content –Material logistics opportunities

14. Priority Sectors : Materials SectorEstablishedEmergingDifficult Food, Whisky, & Fish Sugary wastes Spent grain Pot ale Fish wastes AD feedstocks AD digestate Plastics Blood, bones Fish mortalities Crab waste Shellfish waste Packaged food waste Construction & Infrastructure Projects Aggregates Clean wood Soils, Peat Sub-soils Bottle Plastics Plasterboard Contaminated soil Dirty wood Dirty plastics Asbestos Oil, Gas & Chemicals Off-spec plastic (single stream) Waste Oil Waste solvents ETP sludge Lime residue Spent carbon Drill cuttings Shot-blast grit Rig deconstruction Oily sludges

15. Opportunity : Zero Waste Increasing number of companies adopting ‘Zero Waste’ as corporate policy including Wisemans, FMC, Diageo, Michelin. Zero Waste = nothing to landfill Larger companies are creating demand for a ‘Zero Waste’ solution. Some waste management companies responding… Opportunity to promote alternative technologies such as AD, IVC, MBT NISP Scotland is assisting our member companies to deliver their ‘Zero Waste’ targets. No more landfill?

16. Summary Industrial Symbiosis theory & practice Commercial & Environmental Benefits Priorities for 2008-10 : –sectors & materials reflect Scotland drivers –use innovation to tackle ‘difficult’ materials –early engagement with major projects –collaboration with delivery partners Thanks for listening - Any Questions?
