Dalhousie University's Eco-Efficiency Centre co-hosts, with local regional development authorities and waste-educators, material exchange (synergy) workshops across the province.
SYNERGY: Cooperative interaction between groups so that their combined efforts equal greater results and significant payback.
Workshops are 2 to 3 hours in length, no cost and open to all small to medium-sized enterprise owners or members. The workshops include presentations on the EEC's carbon footprint calculator and on industrial symbiosis practices. Following the presentations a networking or "speed-dating" session takes place in order to create commercial opportunities, increase profit and boost economic development between business participants.
