Michelin's Ballymena plant in Northern Ireland produces over 1.4 million truck tires per year. Energy is a major cost for the plant, representing the second largest expense after payroll. Michelin has implemented an energy strategy focused on choosing efficient energy sources, utilizing competitive purchasing strategies, investing in capital projects to improve efficiency, and educating workers. This strategy has reduced the plant's energy costs by 25% and carbon emissions by 29% compared to using fuel oil alone. Michelin is also pursuing on-site renewable energy projects including wind turbines and combined heat and power to further reduce costs and emissions.
Australian National Greenhouse-and-energy Reporting Streamlining ProtocolYianni Mentis
This document introduces the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Streamlining Protocol, which was developed by the Council of Australian Governments to standardize greenhouse gas and energy reporting across different government programs. It aims to minimize the reporting burden on business by providing consistent terminology, accounting methods, and an online reporting tool. The proliferation of separate reporting requirements from different programs had previously imposed significant costs on companies. The protocol establishes common principles and definitions to streamline data collection and use while still meeting the objectives of individual initiatives.
The document provides several case studies of industrial symbiosis projects in the UK and Europe that have achieved positive environmental, economic and social outcomes. A summary of one case study from Romania is given, where a major wood processor formed partnerships with 20 wood producers to collect and utilize sawdust, wood chips and boards from trunk trimming, totaling 446,100 tonnes of resources shared and 2.5 virgin forests saved. The document demonstrates how industrial symbiosis initiatives can create resource efficiencies and cost savings for participating companies while reducing environmental impacts.

This document summarizes a project to prevent and recycle drywall waste from construction sites. It describes three phases: 1) reducing drywall waste through 3D modeling and optimization, 2) composting drywall waste, and 3) using the composted drywall to reclaim disturbed soil. Preliminary results found that upfront design reduced drywall waste by 0.58%, composting drywall was successful and improved soil quality, and composted drywall had no detrimental effects and improved plant growth in reclaimed soils.

This technical document provides guidance on batch waste incineration. It recommends a six-step process:
1. Understand the waste stream through audits and estimates. Choose appropriate management.
2. Select a suitable incinerator based on waste characteristics. Dual chamber units are recommended.
3. Properly equip and install the incinerator, including controls, insulation, and fresh air intake.
4. Operate for optimum combustion through waste mixing, controlled loading, and observing burn cycles.
5. Safely handle and dispose of residues using protective equipment.
6. Maintain thorough records and reports to facilitate operation improvements.

15. Conclusion
" Toromont’s relationship with the Region has been
awesome. Region recognizes the benefits of a
strong business relationship, has been very
accommodating with respect to contract
amendments, employs dedicated, competent
people, and reinvests its royalty payment back into
the landfill collection system which further
benefits both Toromont and Region. Royalty
payment contract is a successful approach. It has
permitted each party to do what they do best. "
