Free resource matching workshop launched with opportunity for Tesla test drive
A new in-person resource matching workshop has been launched in a bid to bring businesses with a common goal in mind together – to save money by improving the way they manage resources and waste materials.
It will take place on Thursday, 28 November from 9am to 12 pm at Tesla Longbridge, B31 4PT.
The workshop, delivered through the UKSPF-funded Circular Economy for Birmingham and Solihull (CEBAS) Project, aims to enable the identification of new opportunities between delegates through the matching of resources, including waste, byproducts, energy and water.
It is open to SMEs in the Birmingham and Solihull area, to;
- Improve resource efficiency
- Reduce your costs and carbon footprint
- Identify new opportunities
- Network with other like-minded businesses
The CEBAS team will facilitate a lively and interactive session that will allow companies to exchange details about waste streams they have on-site or want as a resource input.
The last CEBAS workshop saw 62 people register for 50 places.

A free username and password can be provided upon request to West Midlands businesses, allowing them to upload their own resources for matching, as well as being able to search for useful inputs into their own production processes.
An introductory demo of the platform will be given at the workshop, as well as a chance to sign up for immediate access.
