RESOURCE INTENSIVE INDUSTRY ACROSS THE EXTENDED
CONSTRUCTION VALUE CHAIN
HORIZON 2020
Call identifier:
WASTE : Moving towards a circular economy through industrial symbiosis
Type of action: Innovation action
Starting date: 01/09/2015
End date: 29/02/2020
Duration in months: 54
Project Number:
Project acronym: FISSAC
Project Coordinator: Acciona Infraestructuras

3. Partners 26 partners from 9 countries (8 EU Member States and Turkey)
general contractor and engineering/construction companies
non-profit research organisations
SMEs in different sustainable business fields
public authorities
manufacturing and energy intensive industry organisations
standardisation and certification bodies
local and regional recycling / sustainable resource management organisations.

5. FISSAC scientific & technical goals
The project will contribute to:
Innovative technological and non-technological processes to transform waste into valuable secondary raw materials
To develop and optimize new cost-effective construction products through the total or partial replacement of virgin raw materials by higher amounts of secondary high-purity raw materials from industrial waste.
To validate the recycling processes and the new eco-innovative products at pre-industrial and industrial scale.
To demonstrate the new solutions through 5 different case studies considering the whole supply chain of the industrial symbiosis: the manufacturing processes, the technical performance of the new products and their implementation at real scale in construction applications.
To develop an integrated Industrial Symbiosis Management Software Tool able to address a Life Cycle and a GIS based approach
FISSAC involves stakeholders at all levels of the construction and demolition value chain to develop a methodology, and software platform to facilitate information exchange, that can support industrial symbiosis networks and replicate pilot schemes at local and regional levels.
The model will be based on three sustainability pillars:
environmental (with a lifecycle approach)
economic
social (taking into consideration stakeholders engagement and impact on society).
