The proposed is a research and development project that aims to bring multiple stakeholders within the Foundation Industry South Wales Region together to analyze material and energy flows and identify potential opportunities for collaboration. Funding will support an industrial circular economy vision that will open new opportunities for improved energy and resource efficiency.Currently there are information silos among companies operating within the region, which prevents the realization of operational synergies that could be possible through the co-location of industrial facilities. ERM will act as an intermediary organisation to facilitate information transfer and research partners will contribute innovative ideas, which will be used to develop an action plan for cooperation between facilities. Funding will support the first phase of the project, which will involve relationship building, co-mapping material and energy flows, exploring the application of existing literature, and developing an action plan of future commercial opportunities.**"Value for money"** is to Foundation Industry partners involved, the South Wales economy and the National/Global economy (contributing to the development of circular economies more broadly). Wales has the lowest productivity of any region of the UK. WRAP suggests cost savings of up to £2.0bn a year could be achieved by transitioning to a circular economy. A circular economy model could move South Wales towards less dependency on raw materials and achieving global-sustainable-development-goals, specifically related to reduction of raw materials and associated impacts on biodiversity/ emissions, contributing towards climate change.There are clearly many unidentified market opportunities, which the region has yet to explore, which this project will help identify. This includes:1. Precious metals recovery2. Plastics recycling3. Food/oils/agricultural/bio-wastes recycling and energy recovery4. Water abstraction reduction, reuse/recycling amongst sectors/local-communities5. Waste heat networks/heat recovery6. Local energy networks/community projects7. Meeting the need for energy storage and peak demands8. Shared facilities - to benefit both industries and communities.9. Shared services (accounting/legal/etc)10. New supply chainsWales is second best in the world at Recycling rates, this project will help to build off that attribute to support the Foundation Industries in the region.With this funding, industry would be able to provide a forum for companies to come together to explore these opportunities - getting the right people around the table to explore the potential projects. This initiative also perfectly aligns to the Welsh and UK Government circular economy objectives and sustainability, to be 'zero waste' by 2050\.

拟议的是一个研究和开发项目，旨在将南威尔士地区基础工业内的多个利益相关者聚集在一起，分析材料和能源流，并确定潜在的合作机会。资金将用于支持工业循环经济愿景，这将为提高能源和资源效率创造新的机会。目前，在该区域内运营的公司之间存在信息孤岛，这阻碍了通过工业设施的共同定位实现运营协同效应。机构风险管理将作为促进信息传递的中介组织，研究伙伴将提出创新想法，这些想法将用于制定设施之间合作的行动计划。资金将用于支持该项目的第一阶段，其中包括建立关系，共同绘制材料和能源流，探索现有文献的应用，以及制定未来商业机会的行动计划。“物有所值”** 是指参与的基础行业合作伙伴、南威尔士经济和国家/全球经济（更广泛地促进循环经济的发展）。威尔士是英国生产率最低的地区。WRAP建议，通过向循环经济过渡，每年可以节省高达20亿英镑的成本。循环经济模式可以使南威尔士州减少对原材料的依赖，实现全球可持续发展目标，特别是减少原材料和对生物多样性/排放的相关影响，促进气候变化。显然，该地区还有许多未确定的市场机会有待探索，本项目将帮助确定。这包括：1.贵金属回收2.塑料回收3.食物/油类/农业/生物废物的循环再用和能源回收4.各部门/地方社区之间减少水的抽取、再利用/再循环5。废热网络/热回收6.地方能源网络/社区项目满足能源储存和峰值需求8。共享设施-使工业和社区都受益。共享服务（会计/法律的/等）10.新供应链威尔士在回收率方面位居世界第二，该项目将有助于建立这一属性，以支持该地区的基础工业。有了这笔资金，工业界将能够为公司提供一个论坛，让他们聚集在一起探索这些机会-让合适的人围坐在一起探索潜在的项目。这一举措也完全符合威尔士和英国政府的循环经济目标和可持续性，到2050年实现“零废物”。
