Industrial ecosystems occur when byproducts from one manufacturing process become ingredients for another process, creating additional value and markets while reducing waste. A new company called W2W connects buyers and sellers of industrial byproducts using their proprietary SmarterMatch technology and expertise in key industrial areas to identify new connections and facilitate optimal matches between outputs and raw material needs. Their algorithm calculates the best matches based on weighted criteria like volume, price, location, consistency, and composition.
