A Roadmap for Industrial Symbiosis Standardisation for Efficient Resource
Sharing

Learn more Contact us


Industrial symbiosis (IS) is an effective solution to address the „zero”
ambitions underscored by the EU policies and laws such as net-zero,
zero-pollution and zero-waste to achieve the 2050 climate-neutrality and the
circularity goals as well as a strong contributor to the EU green and digital
agenda.

By sharing or exchanging underutilised resources, industries and sectors that
traditionally operate separately, can create mutual benefits while reducing the
overall adverse environmental, social and economic impacts of their operations.


WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS?

Industrial symbiosis (IS) is the use by one company or sector of underutilised
resources broadly defined (including waste, by-products, residues, energy,
water, logistics, capacity, expertise, equipment and materials) from another,
with the result of keeping resources in productive use for longer.

Definition of IS from CEN Workshop Agreement 17354

For most industry sectors, the majority of IS opportunities lie outside one’s
own sector. Therefore, sectoral and inter-sectoral standardisation is critical
to overcome the key barriers for IS that currently exist in order to ensure that
materials and products are interchangeable, and that the systems and processes
used are compatible and efficient.

Currently, CEN-CENELEC Strategic Advisory Body on Environment (SABE) Circular
Economy Topic Group (CE-TG) recognises 210 standards or initiatives relevant to
circular economy in such sectors as plastics, electronics, batteries, textiles,
and construction. However, standards for industrial symbiosis are still lacking.


 * multiplicity of actors involved, 
 * need for cross-sectoral collaborations, 
 * regulatory compliance, 
 * lack of data and integration with R&I,
 * lack of incentivisation and favourable market environment.  
 * technical solutions, systems and processes are not compatible, 
 * resources are not interoperable,
 * materials and products are not interchangeable

 * To leverage IS, a robust and cohesive standardisation framework is needed. It
   should enable IS synergies in diverse industrial settings and jurisdictions
   based on commonly agreed and understood terms, principles, requirements,
   protocols and guidelines. 
 * Development of such framework requires optimising the existing standards, for
   example the ones established for circular economy, as well as  developing new
   ones to fill in the gap where standards are missing. 
 * Moreover, the framework should also enable smooth integration of R&I results
   to provide a basis for new standardisation areas and stimulate
   standard-driven and demand-led innovation.
