A challenge of facilitating industrial symbiosis involves identifying novel uses of waste streams that can satisfy the demands of other industries. For these efforts, a variety of characteristics must often be considered. A mine of relevant knowledge has been gathered in resources such as academic journals and patent databases. However, in looking...

The scope of this study consists of setting up of an integrated cost-effective sampling & laboratory analyses procedure which delineates sampling, sub-sampling and analytical uncertainties in case of fine-grained extractive waste deposits. This procedure is designed to support the decision makers towards fine-grained waste deposits upcycling and la...

Thailand generates considerable amounts of agricultural food waste. This research focuses on the manufacturing and retail agricultural food system in the northeastern region of Thailand. Our study aimed to investigate the user segments and factors that influence users’ behavioral intentions to utilize mobile technology for agricultural waste valori...
Over the last few decades, the globe is facing tremendous effects due to the unnecessary piling of municipal solid waste among which food waste holds a greater portion. This practice not only affects the environment in terms of generating greenhouse gas emissions but when left dumped in landfills will also trigger poverty and malnutrition. This rev...
Plastic production has steadily increased worldwide at a staggering pace. The polymer industry is, unfortunately, C-intensive, and accumulation of plastics in the environment has become a major issue. Plastic waste valorization into fresh monomers for production of virgin plastics can reduce both the consumption of fossil feedstocks and the environ...

... A much more open-ended type of data extraction, based on Natural Language Processing (NLP), is showcased by Davis and Aid (2021). This study demonstrates the applicability of extracting from the literature "word vectors" associated with waste stream properties and with industrial input properties, so as to identify word-vector correlations and suggest potential industrial symbiosis opportunities. ...
... Characterizing material stocks, especially infrastructures, is also increasingly facilitated by novel data acquisition and analysis techniques (Arbabi et al., 2021;Ebrahimi et al., 2021;Sprecher et al., 2021;Vilaysouk et al., 2021;Zhou et al., 2021). In particular, waste management and recirculation strategies are propelling a very diverse set of novel data-driven research (Ballatore et al., 2021;Davis & Aid, 2021;Kerdlap et al., 2021;Zhou et al., 2021). ...
... Expanding the dataset with more industrial sectors and a wider variety of streams and exchanges can be considered a next step towards an enhanced map of potential hubs. Further research could focus on integrating a machine-learning algorithm to include affinity parameters beyond distance and the number of surrounding points (Davis & Aid, 2022). Although obtaining the required data is recognised as the basic challenge, the digital revolution across industries looks promising to identify further opportunities for developing circularity solutions (Barile et al., 2021). ...

Recente klimaatrapporten hebben geleid tot krachtige beleidsmaatregelen op mondiaal en Europees niveau inzake de uitstoot van broeikasgassen en de uitputting van grondstoffen. Naast klimaatneutraliteit in 2050 nam Europa in 2020 een even cruciaal initiatief inzake behoud van grondstoffen, met name het actieplan circulaire economie. Een belangrijke pijler hierin is industriële symbiose (IS), dat een doorgedreven uitwisseling van materialen en energieën tussen bedrijven en andere industriële of maatschappelijke actoren nastreeft. Voorliggend onderzoek spitst zich toe op IS in de procesindustrie. De cement-, chemie- en staalsector transformeert grondstoffen tot bouwstenen voor strategische producten, en vormt zo de basisindustrie van de Europese economie. Dergelijke transformaties vereisen echter een intensief gebruik van energie- en hulpbronnen, wat gepaard gaat met aanzienlijke hoeveelheden afval en emissies; die op hun beurt opnieuw ingezet kunnen worden in een circulaire economie. Dit proefschrift verkent systematisch het potentieel aan sectoroverschrijdende samenwerking in de procesindustrie. Het onderzoek leert dat niet enkel technische maar ook niet-technische factoren essentieel zijn bij de beoordeling van industriële symbiose. Via innovatieve tools en inzichten worden nieuwe IS-opportuniteiten geduid, aanbevelingen geformuleerd en verdere onderzoekspistes aangereikt. Het werk besluit met een indicatie van het transitiepotentieel van de procesindustrie naar een circulaire en koolstof-neutrale economie.
The construction of a "Community of Shared Future for Mankind" requires a concept of mutual benefit and coexistence. The implementation of the "Belt and Road" initiative cannot be separated from the strategy of industrial transfer. Whether the industrial transfer between China and the countries along the "Belt and Road" can achieve the mutual benefit and coexistence of bilateral industries is related to the quality and stability of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road". It can also provide empirical evidence to respond to some countries' doubts about the motives of the "Belt and Road" initiative. This article analyzes the mutual benefit and coexistence effects and their mechanisms of industrial transfer between China and countries along the "Belt and Road" from three dimensions of the mutual benefit and coexistence relationship: integration, interaction, and coordination. It uses the EORA world input-output data from 2003 to 2021 for empirical verification. The research results show that the overall level of industrial mutual benefit and coexistence between China and the countries along the "Belt and Road" continues to improve, but the differences between different industries and regions are significant; the industrial transfer between China and the countries along the "Belt and Road" can promote the mutual benefit and coexistence of bilateral industries. This promotion is mainly achieved by strengthening regional value chain cooperation and improving the level of industrial agglomeration. The mutual benefit and coexistence effects of industrial transfer between China and the countries along the "Belt and Road" vary in regions, industries, and time periods. The effects are more significant with the industrial transfer from developed countries along the route, the industrial transfer from medium and high-tech industries, and the industrial transfer after the initiative proposed. The research of this article provides important implications for deepening the industrial transfer between China and the countries along the "Belt and Road" and constructing a system of regional value chain cooperation with mutual benefit and coexistence.
