Wood waste fuelling Bricks

The document details a synergy facilitated by the Western Cape Industrial Symbiosis Programme (WISP) between Pallet Cycle, a recycled timber manufacturer, and Cabrico, a clay brick manufacturer. In early 2020, Cabrico took 4.6 tonnes of wood waste from Pallet Cycle to use as fuel for its kiln and dryers, resulting in a reduction of 1.7 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions and decreased reliance on fossil fuels like coal. The partnership provided economic benefits through lower fuel and material costs for Cabrico and increased storage space for Pallet Cycle.

• The Western Cape Industrial Symbiosis Programme (WISP) facilitated a partnership in early 2020 that enabled Cabrico to take 4.6 tonnes of wood waste from Pallet Cycle.
• Cabrico utilised the wood waste as a substitute fuel for its kiln and dryers, which led to a reduction of 1.7 tonnes in greenhouse gas emissions and decreased the company's reliance on coal.
• The synergy provided economic advantages, allowing Cabrico to produce bricks at a lower cost due to cheaper fuel and feed materials, while Pallet Cycle gained more storage space for raw materials.
