About Ace Eco-Partnerships

Eco-Partnerships Project

ACE Eco-partnerships can offer free comprehensive assistance to eligible small medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with less than 250 employees.

ACE Eco-Partnerships is a 3 year project which will run until June 2011, jointly funded by the University of Abertay Dundee and the European Union to the value of £1.1M.

The project will investigate opportunities for industrial symbiosis, where the wastes or outputs from one SME can be used by a neighbouring SME. It will support SMEs located within Angus, Dundee, Fife and Perth & Kinross.

ACE Eco-partnerships will use in house expertise at Abertay to enable SMEs to identify commercially viable environmental solutions to their products and processes. This knowledge exchange platform between academia and participating SMEs will lead to cost savings and maintain competitive advantage.
