Kalundborg Ecological Industrial Park

The Kalundborg Ecological Industrial Park, located in Denmark, is a pioneering example of industrial symbiosis. It involves a network of companies that collaborate to use each other’s by-products, reducing waste and conserving resources. For instance, one company's waste heat is used to warm another's facilities, while waste products from one industry serve as raw materials for another. This innovative approach not only benefits the environment by minimizing pollution and resource use but also improves the economic efficiency of the participating businesses. It serves as a model for sustainable industrial practices worldwide.
