Objective
The INDPULS project aims to identify and activate business opportunities based on the surplus resources and raw material needs of the association’s member companies. Through an approach of industrial symbiosis, it seeks to promote collaborative projects that generate economic, environmental, and territorial value.
The work focuses on the location and quantification of waste and by-products, as well as the analysis of the resource demands of the participating companies, in order to detect viable synergies between them.
The project also includes an analysis of the business ecosystem, considering the operating centers of the companies and the territorial environment in which they are located, using the Syner platform as a support tool for mapping, analyzing, and visualizing opportunities.
