This document provides information about industrial symbiosis projects in various countries: - Finland has an ongoing industrial symbiosis program led by Motiva and SITRA to reduce waste and encourage resource sharing. - Success stories from Romania and Brazil describe specific industrial symbiosis partnerships that saved forests and reduced costs. - China highlights a project where a sewage treatment plant partners with a company to process sludge into protein products. - Additional examples show partnerships in the UK, South Africa, Hungary, and other countries that divert waste, reduce costs and emissions, and create economic benefits through industrial symbiosis.

- 5. China Project Results Sludge reutilization The Challenge Tianjin SembCorp Sewage Treatment Co. , Ltd. operates a sewage treatment plant in Tianjin Harbor Industrial Park. The HanGu landfill site doesn't receive sludge according to the new policy in TBNA. A safe and economical method for sludge treatment is in great need. The Solution The Results Yuchuan is a professional sludge treatment Businesses Assisted: 2 company, whose core technology is extracting Additional Sales: protein from sludge for the manufacturing of 70,000Yuan protein products. Cost Savings: 464,000 The two companies met in the 9th QWW and Yuan came up with a potential synergy. Landfill Diverted: 180 Yuchuan receives 15 tons of sludge from t/year SembCorp per month. Virgin Materials: 180 t/year © International Synergies Limited Version date 25 February 2013

- 9. Contaminated Plastic Recycling The Challenge • A G Barr, striving for zero manufacturing waste to landfill by 2015 • Approached NISP with a problematic waste - plastics contaminated with syrup. • NISP put them in touch with Forth Valley Recycling and Packaging (FVRP) The Results • CO2 Reduction: 1,533 T • Cost Savings: £14,675.00 (reduced skip uplifts from 6 to 2) • Landfill Diverted: 120 T (contributed to a 70% recycling rate) • Virgin Materials: 120 T “NISP very quickly identified a company who could take, and recycle, a growing and problematic plastic waste stream of ours. This has greatly reduced our landfill costs and helped us on our way to sending zero waste to landfill.” Andrew Walkden - A G Barr (Environment Officer) © International Synergies Limited Version date 25 February 2013

A Powerful Alliance for Subcontractors WPD and East Alliance Partners Central Networks Alliance NISP worked with WPD (then E-on) to increase the amount of recycled SUPPLIERS COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST/QUESTIONNAIRE Plant Operator aggregates used on sites and reduce Local address landfill costs via their contractors. Registered address NISP created a Workspace so data about What Geographic/Highway Authority areas can you supply to? local recyclers could be shared between the East Alliance Partners. One common Waste Management requirements (QP ref* 3.4.1, 3.4.4, 3.6.1 and 3.7.1) YES NO Compliance Checklist was created which amalgamated the individual Partners’ Does your recycling operation have the required environmental permit/waste management licensing/exemptions and is the Duty of Care applied? NOTE: You must demonstrate that you meet the statutory and regulatory requirements, including use of registered waste forms. This was used to assess new suppliers carriers and Waste Transfer Notes (WTNs). Please consult the Guidance Notes for further details. Do you hold a Waste Carriers Licence? joining the Framework. Have you had any EA prosecutions in the last 3 years? Acceptance of incoming waste (QP ref 3.4.1 to 3.4.4 and App C) Do you have site/location specific Acceptance Criteria procedures for the incoming waste? Do your Acceptance Criteria include a description of the types of waste accepted and a description of the method of acceptance? The results include: NOTE: List of Waste Regulations/European Waste Code for consistency with the WTNs must be used. You must demonstrate that only inert waste is accepted for production of aggregates to the Quality Protocol. Inspection at receipt and at tipping must be carried out. Please list what EWC codes the site/ location can accept? •Diversion from landfill: 73260 tonnes •CO2 reduction: 168 tonnes Are material input records kept? NOTE: A record of each load received and accepted must be kept Do you have a procedure for non-compliant waste? •Cost savings: £76077 per year NOTE: You must demonstrate how you are dealing with non-conforming incoming waste. Please consult the Guidance Notes for further details. © International Synergies Limited Version date 25 February 2013
