The Synergie Québec community, led by Cttéi, has published the first Synergy Compendium of 11 concrete and inspiring cases of achievements in the circular economy in Québec.
In this Compendium, 25 companies and organizations testify, with supporting figures, to the impact of their business synergies achieved byindustrial symbiosis : extending the lifespan of resources, innovation, savings and reduction of GHG emissions.
The Compendium is a valuable tool for all players in the circular economy in Quebec :
- Political and business decision-makers
- Economic development, environmental protection and social economy organizations
- Actors in the education community
- General public
This collection is part of the research work of the Research Chair on Industrial and Territorial Ecology (CRÉIT) led by the Cttéi and the Cégep de Sorel-Tracy.
Synergies: win-win linkages
As the Compendium shows, Synergie Québec community facilitators support businesses in implementing synergies to make their resources profitable, whether it be residual materials, underutilized equipment, labour, transportation and more.
