Résumé
U.S manufacturers literally throw away millions of dollars resources every year. As one recent report has noted, even the leanest manufacturing process does not eliminate the problems of yield loss or occasional off-specifi cation products (Gromacki 2009, 50). By-product synergy solutions offer the possibility of recapturing this lost value by identifying new uses for these cast-off resources, potentially resulting savings in the six-fi gure range or (Gromacki 2009, 50) and offering obvious environmental benefi ts. Still the technical, economic, and social challenges of implementing synergies often are hard to overcome, despite the potential cost savings and environmental benefi ts. The byproduct synergy (BPS) process developed by the United States Business Council for Sustainable Development (BCSD) offers one avenue for developing innovative solutions, matching undervalued waste or by-product streams from one facility with potential users at another facility to create new revenues or savings with potential economic, social, or environmental benefi ts (Mangan and Olivetti 2010). BPS shifts the paradigm for waste, seeing it not as a necessary cost of doing business but as a potential feedstock for other processes. The BPS structure, which was pioneered by the BCSD the 1990s, establishes collaborative regional networks that allow businesses and other organizations to share information to identify opportunities for benefi cial use of by-products. A facilitated methodology is used to help participants establish bilateral collaboration that recognizes that one company's waste could be another company's raw material, and to think of waste as a by-product that can bring business opportunities (Lee, Troffell, and Gordon 2009). The process fosters long-term business relationships among the participants that lead to the open sharing of information and collaborative problem solving to address technical and social challenges (Mangan and Olivetti 2010). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has supported BPS since its inception 1997 through technical expertise, funding, coordination of resources, and training. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has also been supportive, co-funding a project with the Dow Chemical Company that identifi ed potential annual cost savings of $15 million and found opportunities to reduce fuel use by 900,000 MMBtu per year (Fitzgerald 2010). Regional BPS networks have been established Montreal, Canada; Tampico, Mexico; and North Texas, the Gulf Coast, New Jersey, the Puget Sound area, Ohio, Kansas City, Chicago, and Houston, with several more the early planning stages. Each regional BPS project includes 20 to 30 diverse companies as feepaying participants, with local, state, and federal government agencies engaged as supporters. Additional project participants typically include business, environmental, and legal representatives. In the initial working meetings, participants use input-output data collection sheets to discuss informal material balances for their facilities and describe material streams and by-products. The BCSD database of synergy opportunities developed from all BPS regional projects is used to supplement discussions and help identify potential synergies. Working groups are formed to focus on common interests, such as chemicals, combustibles, construction debris, or related issues like transportation or energy consumption (Mangan and Olivetti 2010). A business plan, initiative charter, value proposition, materials details, disposal costs, obstacles, and ideas for overcoming barriers are developed for implementing selected strategies. Synergy teams work together to complete the evaluation work. Ongoing working meetings allow the regional team to assess progress, identify additional synergies, and discuss challenges and solutions. Strong technical expertise is needed on these teams to track and characterize material fl ows and work through technical and economic issues, barriers, and challenges. …
