Industrial Symbiosis: Communities Leading the Way

Join the Center for Sustainable Infrastructure as we learn about local Industrial Symbiosis initiatives underway in the Pacific Northwest, from the leaders who’ve helped drive them forward. Industrial symbiosis is a ground-breaking approach to industrial development where one facility’s wastes – energy, water, materials – become valuable resource inputs for other facilities. It offers rich economic, environmental and community benefits by making greater use of resources already in the community. While a diverse set of at least 10 communities, spanning much of Washington and Oregon, are actively pursuing industrial symbiosis, you’ll learn about three of the leading initiatives – in Wenatchee, Pasco, and Boardman. Attendees will walk away with a better understanding of the industrial symbiosis concept, active projects in the PNW, and deeper connections to the growing industrial symbiosis network.
