Quantifying potential industrial symbiosis : a case study of brick manufacturing
… One tool to address sustainability in industrial activities is Industrial Symbiosis, which is the study of cooperation across industry boundaries to increase sustainability. Past efforts to generate these relationships have struggled. Central to these failures is the difficulty of …

The potential contribution of industrial symbiosis to greenhouse gas emissions mitigation
… the overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of industrial production is the use of by-products in so-called ‘industrial symbiosis’. The aim of this thesis is to estimate the potential contribution of industrial symbiosis to GHG emissions mitigation and to quantify the levels of material …

Industrial symbiosis and the successional city : adapting exchange networks to energy constraints
Industrial ecology offers models for hybridizing technology and natural processes, human desires and the capacities of ecosystems in an effort to reconcile the expanding conflicts among them. Industrial symbiosis applies this thinking to the scale of the city and its supporting industrial …

Knowledge transfer to facilitate industrial symbiosis : a case study of UK-China collaborators
Interest in how industrial production could be adapted to promote sustainable development has increased in recent decades worldwide. Industrial symbiosis (where one company’s unwanted materials become the input for another company) is one approach to reducing the environmental impact of production, …

Urban-Industrial Symbiosis Formation and Development: Integration and Expansion of Existing Symbiosis Systems
… the potential methods for achieving Urban-Industrial Symbiosis (UIS) through the existing cases of Industrial Symbiosis (IS) and Urban Symbiosis (US) in several regions to increase the efforts against the world’s sustainability challenges. While the topic of UIS has become a growing …

Ecological modernisation and the development of the UK's green industrial strategy: the case of the UK National Industrial Symbiosis Programme.
The UK National Industrial Symbiosis Programme (NISP) is the first industrial symbiosis (IS) network in the world to have been established at national level. Many studies have recently investigated the UK NISP, but much work remains to be done in understanding the context that enabled the …

The Emergence, Evolution and Frequent Failure of the Industrial Symbiosis: The Evidence from the Sugar Refinery Industry, Chongzuo City, China
Industrial symbiosis (hereafter IS) has been hailed as a win-win solution to our industrial pollution problems, but such projects have frequently failed. The present research set out to explore the dynamics and causal mechanism of IS development and to discover the causes of its failure. It studied …

Accounting for non-hazardous industrial waste in the United States
… the tonnage and composition of non-hazardous industrial waste (NHIW) flows in the United States. For thirty years, it has been an accepted fact that NHIW is generated at a rate of 6.9 billion Mg per year, making it the largest waste flow in the country by more than an order of magnitude. …

Resource intensity trends of ferrochrome production in South Africa
… efficiencies. This has led to the development of industrial symbiosis, whereby platinum group metal (PGM) producers generate UG2 tailings, which are sent to co-located ferrochrome producers to produce chromium concentrate. Chromium concentrate forms part of the raw material to produce sintered …
