  • organizational boundary change in Industrial Symbiosis revisiting the guitang group in china
    Sustainability, 2017
    Co-Authors: Marian Chertow
    Abstract:

    This study revisits the Guitang Group, one of the best known Industrial Symbiosis cases in the sugar industry. Our goal is to offer an evolutionary understanding of Industrial Symbiosis at the Guitang Group. This article focuses on the organizational boundary change of the Guitang Group over time, and acknowledges this process as one of the seven Industrial Symbiosis dynamics proposed by Boons et al. We offer a historical view of the critical forces behind Guitang’s Industrial Symbiosis evolution since the 1950s; particularly how these changes were influenced by broader economic and institutional contexts of importance in China. These insights include the role of institutionalized research and development (R&D) as well as technology-oriented leadership as driving forces for Guitang’s innovation, particularly since the 1990s, when greater efficiency and productivity were emphasized, leading to the establishment of further symbiotic relationships in the company’s evolutionary process. As a result, the Guitang Group grew from 2 internal to 11 internal and external symbiotic exchanges and is now a conglomeration with more than 3000 employees generating more than 1 billion RMB (150 million USD) in revenue annually. The driving forces of the Guitang Group’s Industrial Symbiosis evolution helped to create, disseminate and share information by continuously reinforcing the Industrial Symbiosis message as part of the Guitang Group’s business model and competitive strategy. In addition, state-level policies such as establishing the Guigang (the city where Guitang is located) Eco-Industrial Park enabled Industrial Symbiosis in Guitang. This study provides prospects for future research on the organizational boundary change dynamic of Industrial Symbiosis in the sugar manufacturing industry and beyond.

  • scholarship and practice in Industrial Symbiosis 1989 2014
    2016
    Co-Authors: Marian Chertow, Jooyoung Park
    Abstract:

    Industrial Symbiosis, a subfield of Industrial ecology, engages traditionally separate industries and entities in a collaborative approach to resource sharing that benefits both the environment and the economy. This chapter examines the period 1989–2014 to “take stock” of Industrial Symbiosis. First, we look at the earliest days to discuss what inspired Industrial Symbiosis both in the scholarly literature and in practice. Next, we draw attention to certain dilemmas and sharpen the distinctions between Industrial Symbiosis and some related concepts such as eco-Industrial parks and environmentally balanced Industrial complexes. With regard to dissemination of Industrial Symbiosis ideas, we found that at the country level, China has now received the most attention in Industrial Symbiosis academic research and this continues to grow rapidly.

  • Industrial Symbiosis in puerto rico environmentally related agglomeration economies
    Regional Studies, 2008
    Co-Authors: Marian Chertow, Weslynne Ashton, Juan C Espinosa
    Abstract:

    Chertow M. R., Ashton W. S. and Espinosa J. C. Industrial Symbiosis in Puerto Rico: environmentally related agglomeration economies, Regional Studies. Industrial Symbiosis, a sub-field of Industrial ecology, examines the flow of water, energy, materials, and by-products across firms in geographic proximity. Environmentally related co-location benefits often result that have not been a focus of traditional agglomeration economies, but extend the basic theory. This paper conceptualizes the relationship between agglomeration economies and Industrial Symbiosis, finding that many negative environmental externalities can be reduced while increasing production efficiency. Four Industrial regions of Puerto Rico, all with agglomeration economies, but only two with significant Industrial Symbiosis, highlight the contribution of Symbiosis and how it can influence both static and dynamic agglomeration economies.

  • “Uncovering” Industrial Symbiosis
    Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Marian Chertow
    Abstract:

    Since 1989, efforts to understand the nature of interfirm re- source sharing in the form of Industrial Symbiosis and to repli- cate in a deliberate way what was largely self-organizing in Kalundborg, Denmark have followed many paths, some with much success and some with very little. This article provides a historical view of the motivations and means for pursuing Industrial Symbiosis—defined to include physical exchanges of materials, energy, water, and by-products among diversified clusters of firms. It finds that “uncovering” existing symbioses has led to more sustainable Industrial development than at- tempts to design and build eco-Industrial parks incorporating physical exchanges. By examining 15 proposed projects brought to national and international attention by the U.S. President’s Council on Sustainable Development beginning in the early 1990s, and contrasting these with another 12 projects observed to share more elements of self-organization, recommendations are of- fered to stimulate the identification and uncovering of already existing “kernels” of Symbiosis. In addition, policies and prac- tices are suggested to identify early-stage precursors of po- tentially larger symbioses that can be nurtured and developed further. The article concludes that environmentally and eco- nomically desirable symbiotic exchanges are all around us and now we must shift our gaze to find and foster them.

  • e Symbiosis technology enabled support for Industrial Symbiosis targeting smes and innovation
    2015
    Co-Authors: Franjo Cecelja, Nikolaos Trokanas, Tara Raafat, Aidong Yang, S Innes, M Smith, Y Zorgios, A Korkofygas, A. Kokossis
    Abstract:

    The paper introduces a new paradigm for Industrial Symbiosis by pioneering the use of ontology engineering in the field. Semantics are used to model Industrial Symbiosis flows, to model enabling technologies and to systematise the development of a matching service. Combined with a systems engineering approach, semantics further combine tacit knowledge from Industrial Symbiosis experts with explicit knowledge from Industrial Symbiosis participants. The new approach promises systematic venues to discoveries, innovative solutions, and a holistic methodology in the development of Industrial Symbiosis networks. The paradigm has been implemented as a multilingual web service to support Industrial Symbiosis communities and to embrace small and medium enterprises that are currently side-lined from developments. The approach has been tested and validated using real-life data and its functions are demonstrated with illustrative examples.

  • Semantic algorithm for Industrial Symbiosis network synthesis
    Computers and Chemical Engineering, 2015
    Co-Authors: Franjo Cecelja, Nikolaos Trokanas, Tara Raafat, Mingyen Yu
    Abstract:

    The paper introduces a semantic algorithm for building Industrial Symbiosis networks. Built around ontology modelling of knowledge in the domain of Industrial Symbiosis, the algorithm enables the acquisition of the explicit knowledge from the user through ontology instantiation and input/output matching based on semantic relevance between the participants. Formation of innovative Industrial Symbiosis networks is enabled by decomposition of properties characterising respective resources and solutions, the process optimised for set environmental criteria. The proposed algorithm is implemented as a web service. The potential of the algorithm is demonstrated by several case studies using real-life data.
