Symbiosis Centre Denmark
• Specialized in identifying and helping Industrial Symbiosis’ to come to life
• Skilled and experienced in facilitating existing Industrial Symbiosis’
• Advisors in capacity-building in relation to Industrial Symbiosis’
The history of Industrial Symbiosis in Denmark
1960’es -> today
• Kalundborg Symbiosis•The worlds first working Industrial Symbiosis•Developed organically over the last more than four
decades•Based on commercial agreements between the partners•Today it has 8 private and public partners•Today ≈ 50 different ‘symbiotic exchanges’

1996 -> today
Kalundborg Symbiosis AssociationSymbiosis Secretariat and Visiting Center
•Kalundborg Municipality takes more active part in the Kalundborg Symbiosis
•Kalundborg Municipality focuses actively on being “The Green Industrial Municipality” - a vision partly based on the principle of industrial symbiosis
The history of Industrial Symbiosis in Denmark
2011 -> 2014
Regional Symbiosis Center• “Takes the learnings from Kalundborg Symbiosis” and ‘reuse’ the idea
allover Zealand
2013 -> 2015
National program – Green Industrial Symbiosis• National Task Force• Focus on growth and business - based in Erhvervsstyrelsen, Danish
Business Authority• Offers to businesses: Free resource check, Individual matchmaking,
Matchmaking events, Drafting of an action pla n & Assistance in applying for subsidy
The history of Industrial Symbiosis in Denmark
2015 -> 2017
Dansk SymbioseCenter | Symbiosis Center Denmark• Funded by Vækstforum Sjælland = based in Zealand Region• BUT with (inter)national focus• Continues the efforts to bring Industrial Symbiosis further
out and forward– Resource-optimization = focus on industries and companies locally– Branding and investment = focus on international companies and
investors– Education and skills = focus on employees, local administration,
students etc.– Knowledge and competence-center
• Several partly EU-funded projects
Industrial Symbioses – a definition?
An industrial symbiosis is an ecosystem where the
residual product of one enterprise is used as a resource
by another enterprise, in a closed cycle / loop.
This is made possible through local collaboration, where
public and private enterprises buy and sell residual
products, resulting in mutual economic and
environmental benefits

Minimising costs handling waste
Minimising costs buying resources= better competiveness
Kalundborg Symbiosis: How it started.
• The Symbiosis was not invented, but developed organically over many decades.
• Kalundborg Symbiosis was a “non-project”, created by a “non-organisation”.
• Symbiosis means ‘collaboration between different organisms for mutual benefit’ - a metaphor used about the system since 1991.
a little bit of history…

The Symbiosis Model - a model for business development
encompassing 3 dimensions:
- Economy: Minimizing costs and improved bottom line and
competititve edge
- Environment: Resource efficiency through reuse, recycling, and
reduced intake of virgin materials
- Innovation and development: Improved introduction and access
to new technologies and R&D, job creation and regional
development
Environmental Aspects
Resource savings, compared to ‘non-symbiosis-situation’– some examples (2008):
Ground water ……………… 2.000.000 m3/yearSurface water ……………… 1.000.000 m3/yearNatural gypsum …………… 100.000 tons/yearOil ………………………………… 20.000 tons/year
Reduction of CO2 emission 275.000 tonsnow more likely 300.000 tons

Kalundborg SymbiosisOne partners by-product becomes another
partners resourceApproximately 50 symbiotic exchangesWhat would otherwise have been waste is
turned into money giving the participants a competitive edge in the marketplace

What can be learned from
KALUNDBORG?• The industrial potential must be
present:– Several industries within a limited
physical distance (water and energy)
– ”A good fit”– No major competitors
• Economic incentive is vital• Good communication / interaction
is essential– Based on mutual trust– Believing in the others ability to
survive in their own line of business
