| INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS IDENTIFICATION TOOL: INSTRUCTIONS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RATIONALE FOR THE TOOL | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Industrial symbiosis engages traditionally separate industries in a collective approach to competitive advantage involving physical exchange of materials, energy, water, and/or by-products (Chertow, 2000). Industrial symbiosis often deals with the use of a previously disposed waste (as solid, liquid, gas) from one facility by another facility to provide a valuable by-product. The identification of industrial symbiosis opportunities is often done through rigorous assessments, including the analysis of industry inputs/outputs, discussions with park management and companies, opportunity identification workshops, and desktop review of international experiences. These are all valuable methods which provide a comprehensive set of concrete and practical industrial symbiosis opportunities for an industrial park. Before doing detailed assessments, it is often useful to first generate an indicative list of industrial symbiosis opportunities for an industrial park without a significant time investment. For example, to convince park management and companies about the potential opportunities and create an interest and commitment to undertake detailed assessments. |

| TOOL OBJECTIVES | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The objective of the tool is to support the identification of industrial symbiosis opportunities (by-product and waste exchanges) between companies. This tool can be used in existing industrial parks (brownfields) to provide stakeholders with an indication of the symbiosis opportunities related to companies operating in the park. Alternatively, the tool can be used for new industrial parks (greenfields) to highlight possible industrial symbiosis between companies locating to the park, and thereby assist in the planning of infrastructures and utilities to enable these connections. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| APPROACHES AND INSTRUCTIONS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The tool is designed to be used by international development agencies (e.g. by UNIDO staff members as part of EIP projects) and service providers (e.g. National Cleaner Production Centres) who work with industrial parks in their countries. For example, the tool can be used in a opportunity identification workshop with park management and/or tenant companies. Further, the tool can be used by industrial representatives who are interested in the development of industrial symbiosis. However, it is advised to assist them when it comes to the practical implementation of the opportunities. This tool will benefit from the experiences of users. Please do not hesitate to inform UNIDO about industrial symbiosis opportunities which are not yet captured by this tool. Your contribution is very welcome. UNIDO's contact details for eco-industrial parks are provided at the bottom of this worksheet, thank you! |

| APPROACHES IN TOOL | DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS | ESTIMATED TIME TO COMPLETE TOOL | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| APPROACH 1 | The worksheet "Search by-product" is used to identify potential industrial symbiosis opportunities based on the selection of a specific by-product or waste. For example, the worksheet can inform you what industry can be interested to utilize by-product gypsum. The worksheet also informs you if a similar by-product exchange has already been implemented elsewhere in the world. You only need to make the search selection under "By-product / waste". Other cells are populated automatically. The cells in this worksheet cannot be modified, but the results from the selection and resulting industrial symbiosis options can be copied/pasted. |

Preparatory work can be done at office of expert. Identified industrial symbiosis should be consolidated with park management and/or tenant companies. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The worksheet "Search by company" is used to identify potential industrial symbiosis options based on the selection of a specific company type. Based on the selection, the worksheet generates a list of inputs and outputs related to a specific company type as well as a list of industries with potential interest for creating industrial symbiosis. For example, the worksheet can inform you about alternative raw materials and potential reuses of the by-products/wastes of a cement plant. The worksheet also informs you if a similar by-product exchange has already been implemented elsewhere in the world. You only need to make the search selection under "Select a company". Other cells are populated automatically. The cells in this worksheet cannot be modified, but the results from the company selection and resulting industrial symbiosis options can be copied/pasted. |

| EXAMPLE OF PRACTICAL APPLICATION | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Eco-industrial park training in Viet Nam | Lessons learnt from tool application | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Training on the development and implementation of eco-industrial parks was provided by UNIDO to park management and governmental officials in Viet Nam (July 2019). Topics of the training covered, amongst others, the identification, development and implementation of industrial symbiosis. The Industrial Symbiosis Identification Tool was used as an interactive exercise during the training. Participants used the tool to identify symbiosis opportunities in the three pilot industrial zones of the UNIDO GEF project on eco-industrial parks (e.g. Khanh Phu IZ, Hoa Khanh IZ, and Tra Noc 1&2 IZ). The exercise helped to identify concrete industrial symbiosis opportunities for the three industrial zones. |
• The tool is valuable to identify an initial set of industrial symbiosis opportunities (referred to as "top of the iceberg" options during the training). This initial assessment helps to scope the next activities to develop promising opportunities (e.g. follow-up with companies, feasibility studies), and identification of further symbiosis opportunities through a more detailed analysis. • The use of the tool created a discussion amongst the users on industrial synergies which were not included in the tool (e.g. shared services, supply chain synergies). In other words, the use of the tool helped to create a mind-set to think "outside of the box" and generated an understanding that all companies are part of a wider industrial eco-system. |
