We are delighted to share the news that our founder and Chairman Peter Laybourn has been recognised on the New Year’s Honours List for “services to the #GreenEconomy and to #ClimateAction through #IndustrialSymbiosis” Peter received a letter of support from the then-Prince of Wales in the early days of NISP® congratulating International Synergies for all that NISP® was doing to mitigate #climatechange - a lovely recognition at that time, and nice to circle back round to this honour. https://lnkd.in/eDQMMWSJ

Yesterday, International Synergies Limited in partnership with Sustainability West Midlands, delivered a WMRRN Resource Matching Workshop. Event partners Lori Henebury of Birmingham Business Park and Samantha Frampton of the Solihull Chamber of Commerce were also present. Waste is just a resource in the wrong place. Our workshops are designed to enable businesses to understand this and enables businesses to share details of waste/residual resources that they HAVE that another business may WANT. During the resource matching workshop, 38 matches were identified that will see the productive life of resources being extended, generating potential cost savings for businesses, reducing their business carbon footprint and even generating additional sales. #WMIA #WestMidlandsInnovation #WMPlanforGrowth #resource #matching #workshop #cost #carbon #savings Jordan Gerrard Kirstie Blakeman Jay Lad Anna Bright Andy Whyle (FIEMA)
