A Business Value Framework for Industrial Symbiosis: Linking Sustainability and Economic Performance
This paper introduces a business value framework for industrial symbiosis, aiming to better capture and evaluate the economic, environmental, and social benefits generated through collaborative resource exchanges. It examines how companies can identify, measure, and communicate value creation derived from symbiotic activities, including cost savings, new revenue streams, and sustainability improvements. The study highlights the importance of aligning business strategies with circular economy principles and emphasizes the role of metrics and performance indicators in supporting decision-making. The framework provides practical insights for organizations seeking to implement and scale industrial symbiosis initiatives while maximizing overall value.
