“…This requires a thorough understanding about IE and EIP principles and fostering their application. This can be done by identifying the key stakeholders within the local region, raising their awareness on IE, especially EIP, providing regular communication platforms, and thereby facilitating the generation of the necessary common understanding, objectives and collective commitment for EIP development (Mirata and Pearce 2006;Sakr et al 2011). In light of this, initiatives by individual firms, industry codes of conduct, government regulation schemes, research projects, NGOs and innovative policy instruments can all offer potential contributions.…”

“…In order to make companies actively participate in a project, companies will have to be convinced of the socio-economic and environmental advances that are to be gained through the planned EIP structure (Heeres, Vermeulen, and de Walle 2004;Mirata and Pearce 2006). The presence and involvement of several regional agencies and authorities in Puducherry is quite beneficial in this context.…”

Over the past few years, the eco-industrial park (EIP) concept has been emerging as a significant driving force for sustainable industrialisation. Accumulating evidence indicates that the transition of existing industries into eco-industrial networking through industrial ecology (IE) principles would provide an excellent opportunity for facilitating such innovative industrialisation. A SWOT analysis was carried out to identify the potential and constraints for the successful implementation of an ecoindustrial park in the ecologically fragile coastal zone of Puducherry. The results indicated significant potential for EIP development with few challenges. The lessons learnt can be used to provide broad guidelines for facilitating EIP development in the Puducherry region and similar scenarios found elsewhere across the world, especially in developing countries.

“…Barrier: A factor that hinders or obstructs the development of symbiotic synergies. Enablers and barriers can be presented in various dimensions and levels [3,16,19,22,[82][83][84][85][86]] and we suggest seven fundamental dimensions to be considered, namely social, economic, policy, management, technological, geographical and intermediaries. Any of these dimensions can be relevant in three levels of implementation [7,80,87,88]: (1) a local level that involves the most direct and close to industrial agents such as chambers, industrial park and local government; (2) a level of regional perspective that involves regional government and authorities; and (3) a national level that involves macro elements such as general government, agencies and others.…”

Industrial Symbiosis: A Sectoral Analysis on Enablers and Barriers

Industrial Symbiosis (IS) around the world in the last 20 years had been characterized through an extensive analysis of scientific papers on the IS emerging process, with a special focus on its early stages. The literature suggests that in this process there are key factors (enablers, barriers, triggers, and challenges) that play a critical role in Industrial Symbiosis. From those factors, the enablers and barriers have been highlighted in most of the studies in their different dimensions (social, economic, policy, technological, management, or geographical, amongst others). Several implementation cases suggest that the relevance of these factors rely on the dominant economic sectors involved. This study aims to reveal the key enablers and barriers in various economic sectors and its behaviour according to each one. To accomplish this objective, a comprehensive assessment methodology was designed and performed. This methodology is divided in two sequential phases: the first, sectoral analysis, focuses on the identification of the more relevant dimensions per economic sectors; in the second phase, incidence analysis, the individual behaviour of the enablers and barriers per economic sector are identified. This new approach correlates the economic sectors and factors incidence in order to provide new insights on the key barriers, and enablers on different dimensions. The main result of this study consists in the identification of a set of recommendations that might be critical to reinforce the emerging synergies process and to help overcome the barriers in each economic sector analysed.

“…These studies have also recognized the existence of a group of factors that appear and end up being crucial for the synergies promotion [12,41], they are normally called key or intervening factors. Those factors are defined as determinants for the emerging process of synergies [42], cross-cutting different dimensions, namely, policy, social, economic, intermediaries, geographical, and technological [4,12,40,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. Over the years, literature categorizes these key factors into different groups: enablers, drivers, challenges, barriers, etc.…”

Implementing Industrial Symbiosis Incentives: an Applied Assessment Framework for Risk Mitigation

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Industrial symbiosis (IS) is a business model that proposes symbiotic exchanges, allowing the flow of resources, wastes, and utilities between companies. In recent years, IS initiatives have been exponentially growing around the world. This can be attributed to the increasing awareness on the possibility of obtaining economic, environmental, and social benefits through the implementation of this model. Despite the exponential growth of IS initiatives, the companies are still facing problems in the achievement of reliable and permanent synergies. Over the years the literature has identified several factors in the IS emerging process. Incentives are among these factors, being defined as unlocking tools or mechanisms related to diverse dimensions such as economic, political, social, intermediaries, process, and technology. Authors believe that the large-scale implementation of IS incentives has not been properly addressed. In order to promote facilitated IS implementation and achieve a replicator effect, incentives should be fully addressed. In many case studies, it has been observed that the incentives for IS can be threatened by risks, compromising the implementation, and hindering the emerging process. This study developed a dedicated framework that is composed of incentive identification from best practices of IS and expert consultation; a risk assessment model based on risk factors identification and clustering; and finally, the mitigation actions based on the assessment outputs. The main result of this study is one set of mitigations actions that correlate the implementation levels (clusters) and the potential stakeholders involved.
