Presentation Overview
Alistair at work…
What is NISP?
• National programme: launched in July 2005
• FREE resource efficiency support
• NISP Scotland funded by Scottish Government
• Creating sustainable procurement and consumption patterns that reduce dependency on virgin resources
• Use IS to reduce costs and additional business
• Waste or spare resource becomes a saleable by-product or resource input for another company
‘Cradle to Grave’
Traditional linear supply chain
‘Wastes’ end up in landfill
Symbiosis Networks
Build networks, find Synergies
Between company support
Identify Synergy Opportunities
What resources are being underused? Need to know :• Location • Quantities• Specifications, EWC classification• Timing (project, batch, or continuous)• Restrictions (commercial, regulatory, technical, etc)
Information gathered to identify synergy opportunities :• From direct contact, visits, or referrals• From ‘Synergy Workshops’ and other NISP events
Distillery Resources
WASTE HEAT
SPENT GRAIN
Whisky Distillery
TRANSPORT
GREY WATER
OAK BARRELS
CARBON DIOXIDE
POT ALE
Industrial Symbiosis Examples
Transfer heat to neighbouring site for space heating
agriculture or aquaculture
Whisky Distillery
Sell for animal feed
Extract Proteins
Fuel Source Transfer to neighbouring site
Pot ale processing
Use for making garden furniture
Use to smoke fish
Fuel source
Backhaul opportunity

IS in Practice : Scotland Outputs
Highlights from 2007-08
• landfill diversion 46,265 tonnes
• CO2 reduction 28,279 tonnes
• Cost savings £558,775
• Additional sales £674,974
(2007-08 Landfill diversion target was 35,000 te)
8,750 te Tarmac planings from Edinburgh Tram project
Example Synergies
• 8,750 te road planings from TIE tram project
• 6,000 te paper mill sludge to IVC
• 9,000 te fibre sludge to composting
• 6,000 te canal dredgings to composting
• 550 te zoo dung to compost and back as topsoil
• 2500 te tyre fibre to arena surfacing
• 2000 te off-spec soda ash to cement works
• 24 te bananas for composting
Overall Priorities for 2008-10
• Not just highnn tonnage materials
• Increased focus on ‘difficult’ materials
• Priority sectors for NISP Scotland 2008-10
– Food/Drink : Whisky & Fish
– Oil, Gas, & Chemicals
– Construction & Infrastructure Projects
• Sectors reflect Scotland key industries
• Avoid overlap, building links with Envirowise & WRAP
Priority Industry
Specific Priorities 2008-10
Specific Scotland priorities set by Scottish Government :
• Commercial food wastes
• Fish wastes
• Decommissioned Oil Rigs
• Drilling Muds
• Waste Oils and Solvents
• Industrial Plastics
• Large Scale construction Projects
Brent Spar
Fish Wastes
Drilling Muds
Current Projects
• Food & Drink– Work with SFDF on member support for Zero Waste– Whisky sector new build projects
• Oil, Gas & Chemicals– Outlets for remediated drilling muds– Plastics Refinery project– Biofuels synergies, EfW
• Construction– M74 alternative materials– FRC scope for recyclate content– Material logistics opportunities
Priority Sectors : Materials
Sector Established Emerging Difficult
Food, Whisky, & Fish
Sugary wastes Spent grain Pot ale Fish wastes
AD feedstocks AD digestate Plastics
Blood, bones Fish mortalities Crab waste Shellfish waste Packaged food
waste
Construction & Infrastructure Projects
Aggregates Clean wood
Soils, Peat Sub-soils Bottle Plastics Plasterboard
Contaminated soil Dirty wood Dirty plastics Asbestos
Oil, Gas & Chemicals
Off-spec plastic (single stream)
Waste Oil
Waste solvents ETP sludge Lime residue Spent carbon
Drill cuttings Shot-blast grit Rig deconstruction Oily sludges
Opportunity : Zero Waste
• Increasing number of companies adopting ‘Zero Waste’ as corporate policy including Wisemans, FMC, Diageo, Michelin.
• Zero Waste = nothing to landfill
• Larger companies are creating demand for a ‘Zero Waste’ solution. Some waste management companies responding…
• Opportunity to promote alternative technologies such as AD, IVC, MBT
• NISP Scotland is assisting our member companies to deliver their ‘Zero Waste’ targets.
No more landfill?
Summary
• Industrial Symbiosis theory & practice
• Commercial & Environmental Benefits
• Priorities for 2008-10 : – sectors & materials reflect Scotland drivers– use innovation to tackle ‘difficult’ materials – early engagement with major projects– collaboration with delivery partners
• Thanks for listening - Any Questions?
