Danish industrial symbiosis model
The Danish industrial symbiosis model is a collaborative approach where different industries share resources—such as energy, water, and materials—to reduce waste and increase efficiency. Companies work together to repurpose by-products, use each other's waste as raw materials, and optimize resource use. This interconnected system lowers costs, minimizes environmental impact, and promotes sustainable growth. Denmark has been a pioneer in implementing this model, demonstrating how industry collaboration can create economic and ecological benefits while fostering innovation and resource resilience.
