MISSION STATEMENT
Under the leadership of Partners for
Environmental Progress (PEP), By-Product Synergy Central Gulf Coast
benefits area business by employing a multi-industry collaborative
approach to identifying and realizing opportunities for cost savings
and innovations.
At its core, By-Product Synergy
Central Gulf Coast facilitates the transformation of one company’s
waste, or by-product, into an industrial input for another company.
Synergies formed between participants turn costly waste streams into
productive revenue streams while reducing the environmental impact
of product.
BPS had a very successful first
project phase from May 2009 through late 2010. We are currently
recruiting an additional 20 companies to join BPS in order to lauch
