Synergy Facilitation Services

International Synergies provides a `Synergy Facilitation Service` by identifying opportunities for companies to trade any under-utilised resources (including materials, by-products, energy, water, logistics, expertise and assets) and identify low-cost alternative inputs for industrial or manufacturing processes.

All organisations wanting to reduce costs and improve resource efficiency.

Resources such as raw materials, by-products, wastes, water, energy and logistics have associated financial and environmental costs that are often unknown or underestimated.

Applying industrial symbiosis methods, International Synergies identifies commercially viable opportunities to trade resources on the basis that waste streams from one business can be used as inputs for another.  Activities are primarily aimed at identifying the potential to reduce costs and generate revenue whilst supporting a move towards zero waste. 

International Synergies uses a combination of proprietary data on over 120 million tonnes of resources and other datasets to match resources to industry requirements.  Based on extensive experience in the UK and abroad the company is able to assist businesses to develop and implement opportunities by facilitating links and building relationships with potential partners.  Services can be tailored to your business needs and include:

• Process mapping to quantify resources flows
• Market price benchmarking for materials and waste
• Sourcing of alternative raw materials
• Identification of solutions and innovation partners
• Identification of opportunities to reduce costs and generate revenue
• Quantification of carbon savings
• Assistance with overcoming technical and regulatory barriers
• Managing relationships with potential suppliers, partners and service providers; and
• Project management support to implement identified opportunities.
