Industrial Symbiosis – The Foundation of a Sustainable Circular Economy

When One Factory’s Waste Becomes Another’s Resource — Industrial Symbiosis in Action

There’s a compelling logic embedded in the circular economy model: the waste generated by one facility can serve as the raw material for another.

At GREENMIX, this principle guides our operations in construction and demolition waste recycling. We actively foster industrial symbiosis through collaborations and business ties with companies and entrepreneurs specializing in:

• Wood recycling and by-product utilization for the poultry and agriculture sectors

• Metal, paper, and glass recycling for re-entry into the industrial value chain

One of the more complex waste streams we manage is polymeric waste, composed primarily of plastic and nylon. Even here, value can be unlocked — whether through recycling for reuse, or via RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel) technology, converting residuals into usable energy.

To date, we’ve achieved exceptional results — reaching recycling rates as high as 95% and drastically reducing landfill dependency.

For us, reusing resources is not a privilege — it’s a responsibility. A duty to future generations and to the environment they will inherit.
