Seminar: From waste stream to business – insights, challenges and opportunities

 

How can waste streams from pulp mills become profitable businesses – and what is required to succeed?

 

Welcome to a seminar where Professor Johan Frishammar from Luleå University of Technology presents results from an interview study on successes and challenges in commercializing waste streams in northern Sweden. Here, research and practice meet – with insights from both industry and small and medium-sized enterprises. This is an opportunity for those who want to develop new businesses based on waste streams, understand the market and system perspective, and take part in current research and practical experiences. The event is primarily aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises that want to turn industrial waste streams into new businesses. It is also relevant for those of you who work in industry and want to learn more about how waste streams can be converted into valuable resources and new businesses.

 

During the event you will receive:

• Concrete lessons from companies that work with waste streams.

• Insights from researchers in industrial economics at Luleå University of Technology.

• A clear picture of obstacles, opportunities and next steps for commercialization.

• Opportunity to ask questions and participate in discussion.
