IMIM Webinar on Transitions and experiments: Industrial ecosystems

Abstract

Industrial ecology, as one the main schools of thoughts behind circular economy, offer some promising ways to confront the challenge of sustainability problems in traditional industrial production systems which work under linear production routines. The overarching principle of industrial ecology thinking is based on achieving the symbiotic resource exchanges among the actors of industrial production systems which can evolve into industrial ecosystems with an analogy to mimic the natural ecosystems. In this talk, I will present my recent scientific work which advances the understanding of industrial ecology-inspired transitions by conceptually framing and empirically analysing the experimentation with industrial ecosystem initiatives at local and regional development scales.
