Industrial symbioses are a strategy to improve the consumption of material and energetic resources and the waste management of economic activities. Based on the systemic approach promoted by industrial ecology, they aim at creating new collaborations among the economic stakeholders of a territory in order to exchange information, raw materials and waste, and at intensifying the potential pooling of services and infrastructures between neighboring companies. Nowadays, this strategy also applies to the urban context, allowing implementing collaborations between industry, housing and agriculture. This achievement requires specific detection, analysis and project management tools, as well as business models tailored to the manifold stakeholders. The objective of this lecture is to describe concrete “success stories” in order to highlight the dimensions to be taken into account to facilitate the replication on a broad scale.
