Center IUS - Resource hubs: Sustainable change at a local and regional level
We help your municipality identify, organise and implement Resource Hubs - a concept where companies and organisations can create collaborations and develop new business models. By utilising each other's resources in a smart and sustainable way, you can harness residual resources, which in turn can become raw materials in other flows or business models.
The resource hub functions as an organization where local and regional actors work together to jointly create efficient use of resources through, e.g., circular solutions and innovation.
The purpose of the hub is to be a catalyst for the development of sustainable, resource-efficient circular solutions between economic sectors, to share and gather knowledge, and to promote cooperation across value chains locally and regionally.
The resource hub's internal organization and the members' active participation drive the work within the hub and Symbiosis Sweden assists with the hub's framework and supports with expertise.
With a resource hub you get:
- Increased insights into local and regional resource flows
- Mapping available resource streams
- Proposals for measures for resource efficiency
- 'Matchmaking between different companies' resources and needs
- Reduced waste and fewer residual products
- Cooperation between local and regional businesses that work for sustainable resource use
- Collaboration and coordination of logistics solutions to create optimized resource efficiency
- A local/regional innovation platform for sustainable solutions
