The ZeroWIN project aims to develop the industrial symbiosis approach used by NISP, which remains the world’s only national industrial symbiosis programme.
Keynote speakers, including Peter Laybourn, will discuss the challenge facing industry to eliminate waste and become more sustainable through harnessing the potential of industrial networks. Workshops will focus on the ambitions and challenges of pursuing a zero waste vision – how can entrepreneurship in industrial networks eliminate waste? What are the most appropriate approaches, methods and tools to use?
Participants will learn about the project’s approach and work programme over the next 4 years and have the opportunity to influence the ZeroWIN vision and share in the outcomes, ranging from practical assessment tools and eco-design implementation in nine case studies to engaging with policy processes, each contributing to achieving best practice in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, waste and water use. ZeroWIN can potentially influence 3 million companies and is already working with 16 industrial partners large and small, notably in the high-tech/electronics, construction, automotive and photovoltaic sectors.
