Industrial Symbiosis and Circular Economy: Evaluating Sustainability and Implementation Potential
This article investigates the role of industrial symbiosis in advancing circular economy practices and improving sustainability in industrial systems. It examines how the exchange of materials, energy, and by-products among firms can enhance resource efficiency and reduce environmental impacts. The study analyzes key enabling factors such as collaboration, technological innovation, and supportive policy frameworks, while also identifying barriers related to coordination, economic feasibility, and scalability. The findings provide insights into effective strategies for implementing and expanding industrial symbiosis to support sustainable industrial development.
