Case study demonstrates an environmental siting framework for industrial parks in Greece, highlighting the role of industrial symbiosis in resource efficiency.

Key Points

To establish a structured methodology and environmental criteria for planning and siting eco-industrial parks based on the principles of industrial symbiosis.
Reviewed international practices, design criteria, and environmental legislation regarding eco-industrial networks and industrial symbiosis.
Developed a multi-step siting methodology evaluating geographic proximity, natural environmental features, and human spatial factors.
Applied the framework to evaluate and select viable location alternatives for a business park in Pili, Greece.
Identified that Greek national legislation lacks formalized legal definitions and frameworks for implementing industrial symbiosis.
Generated an environmental assessment model that successfully identified compatible business park locations while minimizing ecological disruption.
Proposed concrete park-level infrastructure interventions for recovering, saving, and cross-sharing energy, water, and material byproducts among tenant firms.
