The Industrial Symbiosis Network

An Industrial Symbiosis Network is a collaborative system where different companies share resources—such as waste materials, energy, or water—to reduce waste and improve efficiency. For example, one factory might use its waste heat to warm a nearby building, or a producer could repurpose another company's byproduct as raw material. This network promotes sustainable practices by minimizing environmental impact, lowering costs, and encouraging innovation through resource sharing. It’s a proactive way for industries to work together, turning waste into value, and creating a more sustainable and resilient local economy.
