“…The China National Eco-Industrial Demonstration Programme launched in 2000 by the State Environmental Protection Administration [25] has also contributed to the increase in the number of potential industrial symbiosis cases and China's leadership in the publication of case studies [19]. This programme has enabled the development of the largest national network of eco-industrial parks, in which industrial symbiosis practices have been promoted [158,159].…”

Industrial symbiosis, which is characterised mainly by the reuse of waste from one company as raw material by another, has been applied worldwide with recognised environmental, economic, and social benefits. However, the potential for industrial symbiosis is not exhausted in existing cases, and there is still a wide range of opportunities for its application. Through a comprehensive literature review, this article aims to compile and analyse studies that focus on potential industrial symbiosis in real contexts, to highlight the margin of optimisation that is not being used. The cases reported in the publications identified here were characterised and analysed according to geographic location, type of economic activity, waste/by-products, main benefits, and the methods employed in the studies. From this analysis, we conclude that there is great potential for applications involving industrial symbiosis throughout the world, and especially in Europe, corresponding to 53% of the total cases analysed. Manufacturing stood out as the sector with the highest potential for establishing symbiosis relationships, and the most common types of waste streams in potential networks were organic, plastic and rubber, wood, and metallic materials. This article also discusses the main drivers and barriers to realising the potential of industrial symbiosis. The diversity of industries, geographical proximity, facilitating entities and legislation, plans, and policies are shown to be the main drivers.

“…It is possible to establish standardized procedures; however, a medium-high level of knowledge of the technical and design characteristics is required, as well as the basic principles and processes that are being carried out, therefore, the level of user to which it is directed is also medium-high. These requirements are more pronounced in the application and implementation of the Séveso III directive, CCPS, NORSOK, CPR, and EN 16991: 2018 guidelines, and on the management and evaluation of safety and health at work, through ISO 45001:2018 [162] and 89/391/EEC. Their application to industrial parks and especially for the domino effect is general.…”

Analysis and Characterization of Risk Methodologies Applied to Industrial Parks

It is important to evaluate the risks in industrial parks and their processes due to the consequences of major accidents and especially the domino effect. Scientific works present a wide possibility of models to deal with these situations. In this work, based on the information extracted from the scientific literature, six groups of risk methodologies are defined, analyzed, and characterized with methods that cover the standards, preventive, probabilistic, traditional, modern, and dynamic evaluation that are applied or could be used in industrial parks. It also tries to achieve the objective of determining which are more appropriate if the possible situations and causes that can produce an accident are taken into account, identifying and evaluating them with characteristics of simultaneity and immediacy, determining the probability of an accident occurring with sufficient advance in time to avoid it under the use of a working operational procedure. There is no definitive methodology, and it is necessary that they complement each other, but considering the proposed objective, the integrated application of traditional methodologies together with the management of safety barriers, the dynamic evaluation of risks, and the inclusion of machine learning systems could fulfill the proposed objective.

“…In resource management, macro- and meso-level studies examine the big picture or the system as a whole using tools such as Material Flow Accounting and Extended Environmental Input-Output Analysis. At micro-level studies, cleaner production principles provide the guiding framework with a particular objective of reducing resource demand and emissions generation vis-à-vis BAU ( Huang et al, 2019 ; Chiu et al, 2017 ). The scope of sustainable consumption must, therefore, cover the consumption of both intermediate and final products and services.…”

Disruptive events have historically been shown to upset business as usual practices that can leave temporary or lasting changes. The emergence of a pandemic in 2020 triggered a rapid digital transformation. Electronic platforms are able to support essential socio-economic activities through virtual transactions and interactions yet products remain a physical output of raw material consumption. Furthermore, the digital world has also easily provided consumers access to more products than they normally need, allowing for rebound effect through “retail therapy” and “revenge procurement”. As widespread digital consumption becomes the “new normal”, this paper cautions against unsustainable consumption practices in the digital world, cites affluence data, and proposes a systemic design-based poka-yoke strategy as a feasible pathway to sustainable consumption: (i) a resource-based sustainability transition that accounts for the consumption of both intermediate (producer) and end- (finished product) consumers, (ii) a design philosophy in developing products and services that embeds sustainability attributes, and (iii) limiting consumer choices to sustainability-proofed products and systems that can guide and lock-in sustainable consumption.
