Case study - International Synergies (21)

Enabling complex industrial networks to design out waste

International Synergies, which has its head office in Birmingham, is a world leader in ‘industrial symbiosis’. In simple terms, this is when surplus resources generated by an industrial process are redirected into another process by one or more other companies, providing a mutual benefit or ‘symbiosis’. It works to facilitate links between those companies, by building networks of companies that can use one another’s waste. With this expertise in the region, WMCA, local businesses and partners are in a good place to build symbiotic networks in key areas and sectors.
