Abstract

Industrial Symbiosis is a way to implement Circular Economy, by connecting industrial waste as an input for another industrial process. These circular material flows have an important role to sustainable development. Earlier research shows that there is lack of information related to waste and by-products, that brings challenges to logistics and managing sufficient input for production. There is a gap in the knowledge of information sharing in ongoing and long-term Industrial Symbiosis. This paper presents a case of biobased Industrial Symbiosis with one by-product producer and three by-product producers and seeks answers to how information is shared between companies.
