Scottish Industrial Symbiosis Programme

The Scottish Industrial Symbiosis Programme (SISP) has been helping to improve resource productivity of Scottish industry since March 2003.  SISP is coordinated by Thirdwave and is publicly funded by the Scottish Executive, SEPA and Scottish Enterprise.  It is also part of the wider National Industrial Symbiosis Programme.

Industrial Symbiosis (IS) is about identifying and using synergies and linkages between co-operating industries to improve resource efficiency and minimise waste. The concept is not exclusive to any particular resource, as it can include raw materials, by-products, human resources, logistics, services, waste, energy and water.

SISP specialise in getting companies on board and organising networking events to demonstrate the benefits of industrial symbiosis in action, as it unfolds.
