INDUSTRIALWASTEEXCHANGE



Industrial Waste Exchange

is a service, which promotesthe use of industrial andcommercial waste items from

one company as a rawmaterial for another company



Beneficiaries of

Waste Exchange

Waste Generator – lower waste disposal cost

– additional income from sale of waste by-products

Waste Recycler – lower input material cost

– stable source of cheap recyclable materials General Public

– lesser strain on solid waste collection / landfillrequirements

– reduced pollution to land and water

Problem Statement

Why is there not a single localindustrial waste exchange facilitycenter (IWEFC)?



Objectives of the Study

To appreciate the fundamental principles of

industrial waste exchange To know the incentives that waste exchange

offer

To identify the barriers to waste exchange

To understand the basic requirements ofindustrial waste exchange

To determine the key success factors of a self-sufficient waste exchange center

Lack of gov’t incentives

Sensitivity of companiesto declare waste



Key Success Factors1. Ability to manage waste exchange information

as to availability, process origin, volume andprice

2. Capability to provide technical specifications ofthe waste material and the mechanism to“match up” generators of waste with firmsinterested in recycling / reusing these materials

3. Facility, personnel, and supervision to handlethe removal and delivery of exchanged wastematerials within an environmentally safe andviable manner



Key Success Factors4. Optimal location/s to provide access and ease

to both sources and destinations ofexchanged waste materials

5. Understanding of the regulatory, complianceand documentation requirements and otherenvironmental laws that govern the disposalof wastes

6. Linkage and partnership with governmentagencies, industry associations and non-profitenvironmental organizations to market wasteexchanges



Conclusion

Industrial waste exchange has a strong appeal tocompanies finding solutions to their waste control

efforts or looking for a stable source of inexpensiveinput material substitutes

Industrial waste exchange has a big potential ofproviding firms added-value in the disposal of non-product output and waste by-products

Industrial waste exchange provides a viable andinexpensive tool for reducing the volume and cost ofwaste disposal, while preserving natural resourcesand the environment towards sustainable

development.



The ChallengeHow to put up a profitable self-sustaining industrial wasteexchange facility center?



RECOMMENDATIONS Formulate a business approach

– Aggressive marketing of waste exchange services

– Selection and segmentation of target market of big-volume and high-value waste materials for exchange

– Premium pricing for hazardous materials handlingand transactions

– Creating added value for customers in thedeclaration and disposal of wastes for purposes ofconfidentiality, compliance and ease of operations

– Application of computerized networking anddistribution requirements planning tools for cost-effectiveness and efficiency



RECOMMENDATIONS

Establish and widen base of waste generators

and recyclers to gain sufficient volume ofexchanged waste materials

– Explore regional sourcing and selling of exchangedwaste materials (local to national level, then regional)

Determine optimal location to addressgeographical diversity and for cost-effectiveness

– Use operations research techniques and distributionrequirements planning tools



RECOMMENDATIONS Lobby for IWEFC accreditation and

endorsement for exclusivity in government-controlled industrial or export processing zones.

Seek funding through international grants,government subsidies and industry fees

Strengthen linkages with implementinggovernment agencies, industry associations,industrial and export processing authorities, andenvironmental groups (both NGO and NPO)
