WASTE ATLAS
Europe, drawn by its own industrial waste
There is no basemap below. Every point of light is a real facility reporting waste transfers to the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register — the continent emerges from 18 years of its own garbage.

The Matchmaker — one plant's waste, the neighbor's feedstock
Pairing each large non-hazardous waste producer (2018-2024) with its nearest plausible industrial off-taker. Pick a symbiosis route:

Tell us your work email and we'll show you the nearest industrial off-takers for your waste stream — the same proximity matching behind the map above, run against your site. No commitment.
Data: European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR), 2007-2024, via the SymbioFlows industrial-symbiosis dataset. Matches are proximity-based estimates, not commercial agreements. Dark regions are reporting gaps, not clean ones: the UK leaves the register after Brexit, Italy after 2023.
