Towards Zero Waste in Industrial Networks

The ZeroWIN-project will examine and develop new and innovative approaches and effective strategies for the prevention of waste in industries based on industrial symbiosis. Industrial Symbiosis is concerned with regional collaboration of companies from traditionally separated sectors which exchange by-products, energy, water and materials in such way, that the waste from one industry becomes raw material for another.

Introduction

To find innovative approaches and effective strategies for the prevention of waste in industrial network based on industrial symbiosis

The development of innovative technologies, waste-prevention methodologies, strategies and system tools (e.g. eco-design, local industrial clusters, and resource exchange) exportable into other European and worldwide contexts shall represent the main focus of this action,
The goal is to develop a structured and innovative production model for resource-use optimisation and waste prevention, also taking residues as secondary raw materials, and test it in real cases of sustainable industrial networks.

Results will translate the vision of sustainable development into elements of a sustainable entrepreneurship, focusing at enhancing business opportunities according to a "towards zero waste" approach.

Aims

* Introduction to ZeroWIN project and its goals.
* Review selected tools in the project to achive environmental improvement in industrial networks and their performance in three sectors: electronics, photovoltaic energy and automation.
* Dissemination of ZeroWIN production model.
* Different cases in which this metodology was applied: portable PC, photovoltaic panel and automotive piece.
* Discassion about results and oportunities.

To whom

Managers, Heads and Technicians in management, production and R+D in companies as well professionals related with sustainability and enviromental improvement.
