Innovating with waste resources

International Synergies NI has been officially launched by Mayor of Craigavon Colin McCusker in Portadown. The company delivers an industrial symbiosis service identifying waste resources and converting these into a reusable resource within another industry setting.

Director Trevor Knipe said: “The benefits to the local economy are clear: £9.5 million in cost savings and £14.5 million in additional sales. The benefits to the environment are also significant with 229,000 tonnes diverted from landfill and greenhouse gas emissions reduced by 300,000 tonnes.”
