Do you want to save your business money and cut carbon emissions? Do you want to network with other likeminded businesses in Milton Keynes? To find opportunities to turn your waste into someone else’s valuable resource, or seek more cost effective materials for your own business needs then sign up for free access to our award winning SYNERGie® platform.
Industrial symbiosis treats waste as a valuable resource that is simply in the wrong place. By connecting businesses through a shared network, one business’s waste can become another’s valuable resource input, reducing costs and carbon emissions for the companies involved.
Access to the SYNERGie® Direct resource-matching platform will enable businesses across the MK postcode area to identify opportunities to reuse resources, reduce emissions and generate economic benefits. Since 2009, SYNERGie® Direct has helped businesses in more than 30 countries to reuse, repurpose and refurbish waste and unwanted resources from other organisations.
Resource matching opportunities identified through SYNERGie® Direct will help businesses cut costs through both avoiding disposal charges and identifying cheaper alternative raw materials. This matching of resources also helps businesses cut their own scope 3 carbon emissions and supports delivery of their own net-zero strategies. Access to the platform will be free of charge and is supported by online webinars that introduce industrial symbiosis from a business perspective, explain its benefits and show participants how to use the platform to identify resources that could replace raw materials or be diverted from disposal.
The software-based resource matching platform and webinar events will be complemented by one-to-one business support. We can visit companies and provide the time and expertise they need to progress resource-matching opportunities that offer greater impact or involve more complex technical challenges.
Working with local industry organisations, such as the Milton Keynes Green Business Network, Climate Action Network and regional Chambers of Commerce, will help promote and expand the local network, creating more opportunities to create resource matches
