Background and Motivations

In contemporary society, people's awareness is constantly increasing, highlighting the importance of recycling and reusing industrial waste materials. This practice is crucial for enhancing the resilience of industrial circular systems, promoting the circular economy, and achieving net-zero emissions goals.

Effective industrial symbiosis will be able to:

1. Reduce the use of raw materials and associated costs and carbon impacts.

2. Transfer resources through waste hierarchies, increasing their beneficial use and promoting the circular economy.

3. Facilitate the transition of industries to the circular economy, promoting good practices and cross-sector communication.

However, at the same time, it also faces challenges such as high costs, limitations in technological feasibility, rising energy demands, complexity in technological implementation, inadequate regulatory policies, and technological risks.

To address these challenges, research on industrial symbiosis has gained increasing attention and investment in today's era.

This special issue “Industrial symbiosis and zero emissions: Industrial waste management practices for achieving sustainable environment” will focus on collaborating with stakeholders from various sectors to develop the best practice roadmap, promote the advancement and application of industrial symbiosis technologies, and provide feasible solutions to achieve net-zero emissions goals. Such a roadmap will provide guidance for all stakeholders, helping them understand, accept, and practice waste recycling and reuse, and providing actionable steps to achieve this goal, promoting the development of the circular economy.

Manuscript submission information:

When submitting your manuscript please select the article type “VSI: Ind. symbiosis & zero: Eco.". Please submit your manuscript before the submission deadline of Feb. 26th, 2025.

All submissions deemed suitable to be sent for peer review will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers.
