DESCRIPTION:Near You Event - ‘How can circularity improve business-Case stu
 dies of industrial research with the paper industry\n\nEvent Type: Technic
 al lecture\n\nIndustry Sector: Cross-sector\n\nSpeak Details: Dr Silvia Te
 desco is the Associate Professor for Sustainability at the Salford Busines
 s School’s Centre for Sustainable Innovation. She has over 10 years resear
 ch experience working on biomass and waste organic materials to produce th
 e energy\, fuels\, and chemicals.\n\nDescription : \n\nThis lecture explor
 es how circular economy (CE) principles\, particularly industrial symbiosi
 s\, can enhance business resilience and sustainability. Focusing on the pa
 per manufacturing sector\, it demonstrates how waste streams can be transf
 ormed into valuable resources\, offering both environmental and economic b
 enefits. The CE framework challenges the unsustainable &lsquo\;take-make-d
 ispose&rsquo\; model by closing loops through reuse\, recycling and regene
 rative design. Tools such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation&rsquo\;s Butte
 rfly Diagram and the ReSOLVE framework (Regenerate\, Share\, Optimise\, Lo
 op\, Virtualise\, Exchange) provide businesses with strategies to embed ci
 rcularity into operations\, improve competitiveness and align with net-zer
 o goals.\nConstruction is a crucial sector\, as this industry alone is res
 ponsible for nearly 40% of global CO₂ emissions. By redirecting paper indu
 stry by-products into building materials\, significant decarbonisation can
  be achieved.\nThree case studies illustrate this in practice: 1) Paper di
 gestate as a water substitute in concrete\, reducing demand for fresh wate
 r\; 2) Paper fly ash as a cement replacement\, cutting embodied carbon whi
 le maintaining structural performance\; 3) Bioenergy optimisation from pap
 er waste\, contributing to industrial decarbonisation. These initiatives s
 howcase the potential of cross-sector collaboration to create low-carbon s
 olutions while reducing industrial waste burdens.\nThe University of Salfo
 rd&rsquo\;s Centre for Sustainable Innovation (CSI) acts as a catalyst for
  such work\, connecting academia\, industry and policymakers. The lecture 
 concludes that circularity is not a compliance cost but a growth opportuni
 ty\, it enables engineers and businesses to innovate\, decarbonise and lea
 d the transition to a sustainable future.&rsquo\;\nCLICK HERE TO JOIN THE
