Our Expanding Footprint “If every human alive today consumed natural resources and emitted carbon dioxide at the same rate as the average American, European , or Australian we would need at least another two earths.” - WWF International

By-Product Synergy Networks Waste = Food = Value = Profit Industrial ecology is a process systems approach that mimics natural cycles, converting waste into “food”
“By-product synergy (BPS) is the matching of under-valued waste or by-product streams from one facility with potential users at another facility to create new revenues or savings with potential social and environmental benefits.” - U.S. Business Council for Sustainable Development
