Empower industrial symbiosis facilitators, sign the INSIGHT Memorandum of Understanding
After more than two years working on industrial symbiosis (IS), the partners of the Erasmus+ INSIGHT project published a Blueprint Report where they identified 5 priorities to boost the uptake of IS through the empowerment of a new professional profile, the Industrial Symbiosis Facilitator. These priorities are:
- Inform: Raise awareness of stakeholders about the concept, opportunities, challenges, and benefits of IS to accelerate its application;
- Train: develop and upgrade technical and non-technical capacities of stakeholders to successfully create and implement IS strategies;
- Finance: incentivise IS through economic tools to tackle economic barriers and support its planning and its implementation;
- Connect: facilitate networking between companies and key stakeholders to share experiences and challenges in order to promote IS;
- Frame: eliminate legal barriers, create a common framework of intentions, policies, and strategies for the CE and IS
For each priority, a set of recommendations is detailed in the Blueprint Document available online.
Do you agree with these priorities? Do you also believe that facilitators have a key role in enabling industrial symbiosis?
