[Correction added after online publication March 16, 2011: The contact information for two authors was listed incorrectly. The email addresses for Farid Uddin Ahamed and Nasreen Akter have been corrected in this version.] This article both joins with recent arguments in economic geography that have made connections between work on industrial symbiosis and agglomerative tendencies and recasts this work. Drawing on the case of Sitakunda‐Bhatiary, Bangladesh, it shows that symbiosis is intricately bound up in the global circulation of wastes and their recovery through secondary processing. It draws attention to the importance of key places as conduits in the transformation of materials and secondary processing; emphasizes their importance as sites of symbiotic activity; and shows how such places exemplify economies of recycling, reuse, and remanufacturing, but in conditions of minimal environmental regulation. It therefore shows that contemporary symbiosis is not necessarily clean and green and may be very messy; that it can be generative of agglomerations, not just dependent upon prior agglomerations; that such agglomerations may be cross sectoral, not just interplant; and that symbiosis needs to be thought of not just through geographic proximity, but through the spatialities of globalization.

“…Policy of Environmental management at park level is, therefore, need attention in controlling and mitigating such harmful impacts. On the other hand, Hamner (1997) and Yap (2000) recognized the current legal directives encourage companies to separately tackle environmental management by employing different environmental policies. According to Chen and Bacareza (1995), these policies are useful, predominantly when employed in combination with comparatively new strategies like market based economic instruments such as charges, taxes and subsidies to prevent local environmental problems.…”

An environmental policy is a written statement describing an organization’s mission in relation to environmental impacts of its operational activities. However, many industries of developing country fail to implement their environmental policy. The problem also manifested in certain Industrial parks of Ethiopia. Hence, this study intended to examine environmental management policies, practices and compliance in the Eastern Industrial Park of Dukem, Ethiopia. The study used qualitative approach using both primary and secondary data. On the other hand, purposive sampling was used to take the required sample. The target population of this study was the informants of selected government sectors and industries of Eastern Industrial Park. Structured interview question was designed to the informants. The qualitative data was analysed using thematic analysis. Tables, figures and charts were used for data presentation. Although industries in the industrial park had their own company environmental policy, however, there was limitation in documenting and implementing their environmental policy in their environmental management activities of the companies. The companies designed their policy merely to fulfil their requirement to the concerned authority. The findings revealed, the selected industries of Industrial Park not only fail to implement their policies but also limited in implementing the government and other international policies.

“…For instance, policy directives now encourage companies to individually tackle environmental management by implementing systems such as ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems and procedures for cleaner production (Preventive strategy, such as promotion of Cleaner Production, has been enacted into the law as of 2002.) [13][14][15]. These approaches are useful, especially when used in conjunction with relatively new strategies like market based economic instruments (e.g., taxes, charges and subsidies) tackling domestic environmental problems [12].…”
