Industrial symbiosis (IS), pioneered in Denmark, is a ground-breaking approach to industrial development where one business’ wastes – energy, water, materials – become valuable resource inputs for others. IS offers rich economic, environmental and community benefits together. Over 200 PNW leaders have toured Denmark with CSI to see IS in action and to bring the benefits back home — as a result, innovative IS initiatives are now underway in over a dozen PNW communities.
