D1.4 Identification of technical and non-technical barriers related to the implementation of Industrial Symbiosis

Abstract

This report is part of LIAISE COST Action. Concretely, it is D1.4. Identification of technical and non-technical barriers related to the implementation of Industrial Symbiosis. LIAISE COST Action (CA22110) is a project funded by the COST Action Programme in 2023, whose objective is to ensure an inclusive and holistic Industrial Symbiosis approach by generating relevant synergies among different actors from the q-helix stakeholder model and by setting the groundwork for increased and robust development of knowledge, apart from promoting future results-oriented R&D. In the context of addressing climate change, industrial sectors play a significant role as major contributors to carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, and waste generation. To combat these challenges, adopting a Circular Economy strategy is imperative. The Circular Economy model diverges from the traditional linear approach by promoting sustainable production and consumption practices while considering societal, environmental, and economic factors in a balanced manner.
