“…Analyses herein range from dimensions of social embeddedness drawing on organization, institutional capacity, and network literature (Ashton and Bain 2012;Boons and Spekkink 2012;Paquin and Howard-Grenville 2012), to theory of, and tools for, IS that draw on biology, ecology, and organizational behavior (Chertow and Ehrenfeld 2012;Jensen et al 2012) and the elaboration of a definition of IS from a practitioner's point of view that adds to the list the business literature . In addition, issues of flow modeling and technological innovation (Brent et al 2011;Kovács 2012;Zhou et al 2012), documenting and quantifying the specific environmental and economic benefits of IS Mattila et al 2012;Ferrer et al 2012), and the role of policy (Salmi et al 2011) are all addressed.…”

“…Given that the availability of information is apparently insufficient to advance IS, the research then turns to the role of coordination and facilitation in advancing those synergy opportunities for which information on technical and economic criteria is known. This aspect is explored via large data sets (Boons and Spekkink 2012;Paquin and Howard-Grenville 2012) complementing case study work (Ashton and Bain 2012;Ferrer et al 2012) to give a comprehensive assessment. Paquin and Howard-Grenville present an analysis of eight years of ISL's NISP, starting when NISP was only operating regionally.…”

“…Many industrial parks have been established around the world including Denmark, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Holland, Australia, China, India, etc. (Ferrer, Cortezia, & Neumann, 2012;Shi, Tian, & Chen, 2012;Song, Geng, & Dong, 2018;Sterr & Ott, 2004). However, the construction of such parks is easier than their management.…”

Based on the social network analysis (SNA) and the cascading failure model, this paper develops a model of elasticity analysis of the Industrial Symbiosis (IS) network and evaluates the Nanjing Chemical Industry Parks (NCIP) by the metrics of network efficiency and survival rate of the nodes. This paper finds that the NCIP is mainly composed of three major industrial chains, involving the circulation flow of the material, by-products, and energy, and show heterogeneous. Under an intentional attack on the consumer nodes, most of the node's failure cause a chain reaction and bring about changes in network efficiency, and the resilience is not identical accordingly. The network efficiency increases with the augment of the elasticity level, it will not change when reached a certain peak, and the survival rate of the node also increases with the increase of the elasticity level. Therefore, the choice of the optimal elasticity level is helpful to the construction and normal operation of the symbiosis network. At the same time, in order to improve the resilience of the symbiotic network, enterprises should communicate periodically. Because of the ability to find and eliminate the adverse factors, periodic checks are critical for symbiosis between nodes. In order to prevent a network collapse, the NCIP management committee should evaluate the resilience of the IS network regularly, and the government should support the construction of the IS network and give tax subsidies or deductions.

“…Likewise, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recognizes IS as a tool for furthering green growth and eco-innovation, and recommends its application [2] [3]. Asian economies such as China and India have been extensively implementing Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs) [4][5][6]. Especially China has developed the largest EIP network by incorporating 15 National Demonstration EIPs and 45 National Trial EIPs [4].…”

Toward a network perspective for understanding resilience and sustainability in industrial symbiotic networks

Industrial symbiotic (IS) networks attempt to mimic ecological systems in order to develop synergistic networks where waste equals food. Overall, such complex systems are observed to have high efficiency, performance, and robustness but are often fragile and vulnerable to unanticipated perturbations. As most IS networks are based on ad-hoc opportunities rather than strategic planning, gaining insight into disruptive scenarios and their impact is pivotal for understanding the balance between resilience and sustainability, and designing efficient and robust networks. Much of the existing work on network analysis of IS complexes has focused on studying the resource flows with little to no emphasis on understanding tradeoffs between resilience and sustainability. The present work focuses on employing network analysis to fill this void. Considering the industries as nodes and flows of water and steam as edges, we construct a network of the IS complex in Kalundborg, Denmark. From our analysis of the Kalundborg Industrial Symbiosis, it is evident that the power plant is the most vulnerable industry and a single point of failure in the network. Increasing the flexibility of the interactions between the industries can increase the resilience of the network.
