Moving towards a circular economy through industrial symbiosis
DURATION
Starting date – September 01, 2015
Ending date – February 29, 2020
OUR ROLE
Leader of Exploitation and Business Models for Industrial Symbiosis
COORDINATOR
ACCIONA INFRAESTRUCTURAS SA, Spain
OBJECTIVES
The FISSAC project involves stakeholders at all levels of the construction and demolition value chain to develop a methodology and software platform, to facilitate information exchange, that can support industrial symbiosis networks and replicate pilot schemes at local and regional levels.
The model will be based on three sustainability pillars:
Environmental (with a life-cycle approach)
Economic
Social (taking into consideration stakeholder engagement and impact on society).
Our ambition is that the model we create can be replicated in other regions and other value chain scenarios.
FISSAC aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the processes, services, and products at different levels.
FISSAC PROJECT INTRODUCTION
MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
Demonstration of closed-loop recycling processes to transform waste into valuable acceptable secondary raw materials.
Demonstration of the manufacturing processes of the novel products at an industrial scale.
PRODUCT VALIDATION
Demonstration of the eco-design of eco-innovative construction products (new eco-cement and green concrete, innovative ceramic tiles and rubber-wood plastic composites) in pre-industrial processes, under a life-cycle approach.
Demonstration at the real scale of the application and technical performance of eco-innovative construction products in a variety of case studies.
INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS MODEL
Demonstration of the software platform.
Replicability assessment of the model through living lab concept (as a user-centred, open-innovation ecosystem, often operating in a territorial context).
