Abstract
Enterprises have started to establish partnerships both to use their internal resources efficiently and to increase their environmental performance. Partnerships and interoperability of enterprises with different processes enable them to benefit more from their benefits. Moving towards the local and regional economy, these partnerships that increase environmental and own resources have created industrial symbiosis practices. Industrial ecology fields are established in these applications. Both environmental and economic gains can be achieved through the efficient use of resources by enterprises and the minimization of wastes. For the sustainability of these partnerships to be established by enterprises, they need to analyze the measures they take internally. In this study, the concept of industrial symbiosis and the criteria that are effective for the sustainability of these industrial symbiosis are evaluated. Analytical network process method is used. Thus, the industrial symbiosis infrastructures to be established by enterprises have been enabled to move strategically.
Highlights
The concept of industrial symbiosis has been developed as a new industrial application in recent years
This study focused on the criteria that affect the sustainability of industrial symbiosis applications, unlike the studies in the literature
Structures designed to be the waste of one enterprise and the raw material of the other enterprise are called industrial partnerships or industrial symbiosis
Summary
The concept of industrial symbiosis has been developed as a new industrial application in recent years. When acting in this context, it is essential that industrial symbiosis applications, one of the projects born for purposes such as zero waste, cleaner production, and energy-saving, are sustainable Ensuring that these practices are sustainable has become a necessity for the conservation of natural resources and the reduction of environmental problems (Leigh & Li, 2015). A proper analysis of the criteria will provide useful results in this cycle of partnerships In this context, managers should establish an evaluation process in which these criteria are taken into account. The concept of industrial symbiosis is evaluated under the main criteria of economic, social, environmental, ecological industry construction, and management In this evaluation, the analytical network process (ANP) method, which is a multi-criteria decision-making method, is used.
