This document summarizes a study on identifying critical technology actors in waste flow management in Brazil. It provides an outline and discusses the theoretical frame of taking an ecosystem level perspective. The results identify three types of technological actors - product, process, and infrastructure. It concludes that the waste business ecosystem in developing countries involves a huge number of actors, including informal sectors, and opportunities will emerge as waste amounts increase. Next steps are to continue the ecosystem approach to waste business and flexible energy systems.
![Next steps
• Ecosystem level approach to
– Waste business [continues]
– Flexible energy systems

- 5. What is the right horse • Bet on the brightest technological innovation? • Find the best business ecosystem? – Establish a new one, or entry to the existing one? – Either way, the understanding the existing business ecosystem is vital. 4.8.2015CITER
- 6. Ecosystem level approach • Focusing on one company / offering is too narrow perspective • Combination of several networks • Companies / organizations are members in several networks – They might have different roles – Place in the value chain might be different 4.8.2015CITER Adner, R., The Wide Lens: A New Strategy for Innovation.

Conclusions • The amount of waste is increasing in developing countries – Business opportunities will be emerged – Tremendous challenge to capture the value • The amount of actors in the waste business ecosystem is huge – The role of informal sector • There are three kinds of technological actors; product, process and infrastucture 4.8.2015CITER
