Abstract
ABSTRACT Industrial activities and waste are the main sources of air, water, soil pollution, depletion of natural resources, global warming and climatic changes, acid rain, biodiversity degradation worldwide. Egypt is suffering from industrial pollution and moving towards zero pollution goal represents a great challenge. Recently, Egypt is committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The notion of eco-industrial park (EIP) has been revitalized recently to reduce waste and pollution, efficiently share resources, and help to achieve sustainable development in the industrial sector. The objective of this research is to suggest a framework to guide the development of eco-industrial parks in Egypt. The research applies the inductive method to deduce the suggested framework. The main international and national eco-industrial park guidelines as well as international case studies are used to conclude the main categories and criteria as well as the relationship between criteria. In order to investigate the proposed guiding framework, a local case study was chosen to be studied as a sample of Egyptian eco-industrial park. In conclusion, the application of the suggested framework helped highlighting the covered and uncovered areas in the sample local case study as a step to build on in the Egyptian context.
