Abstract
In actual context it is becoming more apparent that economic activities are inconceivably linked with the environment, a fact that is generating the need for a more complex relationship between the economy and ecology. We need to arrive at a reconciliation between the desire for economic and social development on the one hand, and environmental protection on the other. The concepts of industrial ecology and industrial symbiosis are providing viable solutions to economic growth without sacrificing environmental quality. The implementation of industrial symbiosis in the economy represents an innovative method to promote green economy and to create a new culture of economic growth. The chapter will present the concepts of industrial ecology and industrial symbiosis in the context of eco-innovation, the advantages and limitations in their implementation, and some significant case studies with positive results in promoting green growth through industrial symbiosis.
