Every organisation has resources.
Some you need more of. Others you might have too much of.
You might have packaging piling up, equipment that's sitting unused, offcuts from a manufacturing process, surplus materials, spare capacity or a by-product that you're currently paying to dispose of.
At the same time, your organisation is constantly purchasing materials, equipment and services.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻.
During this interactive session, we'll ask organisations to share the resources they 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 and the resources they 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧.
Our team will then help identify connections between participants and explore whether one organisation's surplus could become another organisation's solution.
And sometimes, the most valuable connections happen between businesses that would never normally have a reason to speak to each other.
𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲
When we say "resource", we mean much more than materials destined for disposal.
Bring opportunities involving:
Materials & By-products
Offcuts, surplus stock, secondary materials, production by-products and more.
Equipment & Assets
Machinery, furniture, containers, tools or equipment that is sitting underused.
Packaging
Pallets, drums, containers, cardboard, plastics and other packaging materials.
Space & Capacity
Storage, transport capacity, facilities or other underused assets.
Skills & Services
Knowledge, expertise and services that could support another organisation.
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴.
If your organisation has something it isn't making full use of – we want to hear about it.
If there's something your organisation regularly needs – we want to hear about that too.

You could leave with:
♻️ A potential new outlet for a surplus resource
💰 An opportunity to reduce purchasing or disposal costs
🤝 A connection with another local organisation
💡 A completely different solution to an existing business challenge
🌱 Practical opportunities to improve your environmental performance
🔄 New ideas for keeping valuable resources in use for longer
You don't need to arrive with a sustainability strategy.
You don't need to understand Industrial Symbiosis.
And you certainly don't need to work in the environmental sector.
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
We'll help with the rest.

Sustainability shouldn't only be about doing less.
It can also be about 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲.
By finding productive uses for surplus resources, organisations can reduce waste, keep materials circulating for longer and decrease demand for virgin resources.
But there can be a business benefit too.
Reducing disposal costs, sourcing resources differently, sharing assets and collaborating with other organisations can all contribute to a more efficient and resilient business.
That's what this workshop is designed to uncover.
𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺?
𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦.
Some of the most interesting resource matches happen between organisations operating in completely different sectors.
Whether you're in manufacturing, construction, engineering, food and drink, agriculture, hospitality, retail, healthcare, education, the public sector, the third sector or something entirely different, we'd encourage you to come along.
The more diverse the organisations in the room, the more opportunities we can uncover.
Come prepared with the resources your organisation HAS, the resources it WANTS, and an open mind about where the answers might come from.
Your next resource opportunity might already exist in another organisation.
