The Western Cape Industrial Symbiosis Programme (WISP) is a multiple award-winning free facilitation service to businesses, which is now funded by the City of Cape Town. WISP facilitators provide business members with dedicated time and technical expertise, connecting companies with unused or residual resources such as materials, energy, water, assets, logistics and expertise. By sharing resources, members:

• Cut costs and increase profit
• Improve their business processes
• Create new revenue streams
• Learn from us and each other
• Operate more sustainably

No company is too big or too small to benefit from WISP, and members are from different industries. For example, WISP has facilitated successful synergies in the food, textile and manufacturing industries. Membership is free regardless of sector, size or turnover.

The National Cleaner Production Centre (NCPC) South Africa is a national support programme that drives the transition of South African industry towards a green economy through appropriate resource efficient and cleaner production (RECP) assessments.
