Turash: Industrial Symbiosis Platform

Turash guides businesses to optimal resource exchanges, navigating the complex landscape of industrial symbiosis and providing direction to sustainable profitability.

🌟 What is Turash?

Turash is a B2B SaaS platform that digitizes industrial symbiosis by connecting businesses' waste streams with neighboring demand. We unlock €50B+ annual savings across European industrial ecosystems through intelligent resource matching.

The Problem

European industries waste €500B annually on virgin resource procurement and waste disposal while emitting 1.2B tons of CO₂. Industrial symbiosis could reduce this by 20-50%, but fragmented analog processes prevent adoption.

The Solution

A resource-matching engine that:

• Digitizes Resource Flows: Captures heat, water, waste, and by-products with precision
• Optimizes Multi-Party Exchanges: Uses graph algorithms for economically viable matches
• Drives Adoption: Starts with "cheap-to-act" resources, builds trust through ROI

🏗️ Architecture

Core Components

• Graph Database: Neo4j for complex relationship traversals
• Relational Database: PostgreSQL with PostGIS for spatial operations
• Backend: Go 1.25+ with event-driven architecture
• Matching Engine: Graph algorithms for multi-party optimization
• API: RESTful with WebSocket real-time updates

Key Features

• Privacy-tiered data visibility (public/network/private)
• Automated ingestion from industrial data sources
• Geographic clustering for higher match rates
• Real-time market updates and notifications

📊 Market Opportunity

• TAM: €500B European industrial resource flows
• SAM: €50B addressable through digital IS platforms
• SOM: €2B first-mover advantage (€500M by year 3)

🎯 Business Model

• Freemium: See + Match for free (network effects driver)
• Subscription: €50-500/facility/month based on engagement
• Transactions: 10-20% commission on facilitated exchanges
• Municipal: License fees for city dashboards (€50k-200k/year)

🚀 Roadmap

MVP (Q1 2025)

• Heat matching in 1 industrial park
• Manual data entry, basic matching
• Proof of concept validation

v1.0 (Q2 2025)

• Multi-resource types (waste, water, materials)
• Automated data ingestion
• 10 cities, enterprise features

Scale (Q4 2025)

• Full platform, international expansion
• Advanced analytics and optimization
