Opportunities for the uptake of industrial symbiosis in European regions
The Policy Learning Platform organised a workshop on opportunities for the uptake of industrial symbiosis in European regions on 22-23 May 2019 in Helsinki, Finland.
The workshop provided a forum for thematic exchange and learning between Interreg Europe project partners on policies for promoting industrial symbiosis with different levels of experience in this field. The main highlight of the discussions were the role of regions in facilitating this industrial symbiosis, and the success factors and enablers for stimulating industrial ecology in European regions. It brought together around 35 participants from all over Europe. As a result of the workshop, recommendations for future policy action have been formulated and are available in this article.
