Industrial Symbiosis and Environmental Performance: Pathways to Sustainable Resource Use
This article explores the environmental implications of industrial symbiosis, focusing on how collaborative exchanges of materials, energy, and by-products among industries can enhance environmental performance. It examines the potential of symbiotic networks to reduce waste generation, lower emissions, and optimize resource utilization. The study highlights key enabling factors such as policy support, technological innovation, and stakeholder collaboration, while also addressing barriers related to implementation and coordination. The findings underscore the importance of industrial symbiosis as a practical approach to advancing sustainability and circular economy objectives.
