The Prince of Wales is also a fan of the ecological building company, set up by Adam Weissman and Katy Bryce. It offers services including the design and construction of new cob and strawbale walls and buildings, restoration and repairs to existing cob walls, plastering, rendering, limewashing and garden design and construction.
Cob in Cornwall became NISP’s 12,000th member after attending a workshop held in the South West.
Adam Weissman, co-owner of Cob in Cornwall, said: “I was instantly impressed with the range of businesses at the workshop and the breadth of potential resources available to us through the NISP network.
“I look forward to working with NISP to source local, sustainable products to use in our building and design projects which will not only cut down on our own costs, but help us to limit the impact we, as a business, have on the environment.”
Peter Laybourn, NISP Programme Director, said: “I’m delighted that NISP has reached the 12,000 member mark, and I’d like to personally welcome Cob in Cornwall to the programme.
“Just like Cob in Cornwall, many of our new members decide to join after attending one of NISP’s regional or sector specific synergy workshops.
“Here businesses are able to experience first hand how effective the cross-sector industrial symbiosis approach can be. It can reduce costs and generate sales by identifying innovative and novel input streams for industrial processes as well as adding value to non product outputs.”
