SymbioFlows assesses your waste stream against its chemistry, EU waste classification, and proven recovery routes — then grades its recovery potential in a compliance-grounded recovery assessment, not a list of guesses.
Graded recovery potential per stream, divertable tonnage, and your highest-value next step — complimentary, in minutes.
For industrial companies in:
Industries worldwide pay to dispose of materials that could generate revenue
Industrial byproducts that could be valuable raw materials end up in landfills.
Waste fees climb while the value locked in those materials goes unrecognized.
Companies that could benefit from each other's waste streams rarely find each other.
Most waste matching is brokers, cold calls, and regulatory uncertainty. SymbioFlows runs a structured pipeline — chemistry, compliance, geography, and logistics — and hands you ranked, costed receiving routes with an audit trail.
Each facility is tested against your material's physical properties. Incompatible routes are eliminated before you see a single name.
EWC classification, TFS cross-border rules, and Basel compliance are built into every match — not bolted on after.
Transport mode, freight estimate, and volume allocation per route. Full economics before you make contact.
14-step deterministic engine
Output: Ranked receivers with process fit, compliance flags, freight cost
Industrial symbiosis has been generating value for decades. We make it accessible.
The world's first industrial symbiosis network — active since 1972. Local factories exchange steam, water, fly ash, and sludge between each other, eliminating disposal costs and generating direct revenue from waste streams.
Over $2.8B in cumulative economic benefit documented across the Kalundborg network since 1972.
SymbioFlows applies the same principle — structured routing, compliance-grounded, at industrial scale.
Every match is classified under the European List of Waste (LoW/EWC) and screened against the Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC) and Waste Shipment Regulation before it reaches your report.
839 official European Waste Catalogue codes with valorisation routes, NACE receivers and regulatory classification.
