Who is RISERS relevant for?
RISERS supports the transition toward a more circular, sustainable and innovation-driven industrial ecosystem in Europe by developing a framework for industrial symbiosis (IS) standardisation.
We equip organisations working in standardisation, policy, industry, research and capacity building with the guidance, knowledge, tools and evidence they need to put this framework into practice.

Standarisation Bodies & Technical Committees
RISERS offers:
- Directions for work on the development of new standards and revision of existing ones to scale up industrial exchanges of resources through symbiotic collaborations.
- Capacity, skills and knowledge building to facilitate IS standardisation efforts.

Policy & Decision-makers
RISERS offers:
- Policy briefs, governance recommendations and regulatory gap analyses (e.g. End-of Waste criteria) providing evidence that can guide establishing relevant EU, national and regional policies, incentives and compliance schemes in support of IS.

Industry, Industrial Clusters,
& Associations
RISERS offers:
- Co-design opportunities of the IS Standardisation Roadmap and the policy recommendations.
- Basis for direct operational planning and uptake of IS and internal decision-making.
- Methodology, practical tools and evidence to help identify symbiosis business cases and make them operational trough new business models, reduce waste and resource costs and IS upscaling.

Academia and R&D&I Actors
What RISERS offers:
- Tools for knowledge, capacity building and skills development to integrate pre-normative research and generate evidence in support for IS standardisation in research programmes and projects design.
- Collaboration pathways and knowledge resources that connect R&I actors with industry and standardisation bodies, enabling knowledge valorisation for IS standardisation.
