SymbioFlows is a simulation engine for industrial residue reuse. Give it a material analysis and a receiving process, and it tells you whether the substitution works and what pre-treatment, logistics and compliance path it needs. When the evidence isn't there, it says so instead of guessing.
Bring a material analysis for a traceable decision on the route, its constraints and the next evidence required. No analysis yet? Start with a check of the stream.
For industrial companies in:
Five public reference materials, each proposed as a substitute for ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) in concrete. The published source for each one rules it out. The engine declines all five rather than guess.
Why: A coal-combustion residue, not a blast-furnace slag.
Source: FHWA, User Guidelines for Waste and Byproduct Materials in Pavement Construction, Table 1-3
Why: A coal-combustion residue, not a blast-furnace slag.

Why: Certified as a bituminous coal fly ash, not a blast-furnace slag.

Why: A non-ferrous smelting slag, not a blast-furnace slag.

Why: A used foundry moulding sand, not a slag.

A route without evidence is refused, and a blocked route stays blocked.
How the engine decidesA plausible outlet is not a pilot decision. SymbioFlows starts with a defined material and route, tests the evidence that matters, and records what is supported, excluded, or unresolved.
The material profile is tested against route-specific constraints. An unsupported route is surfaced as a constraint, not presented as a lead.
Classification and transport context are recorded with the material evidence so the next technical review starts from the same facts.
Commercial terms follow material and receiver qualification; they are not inferred from generic benchmarks.
