Abstract

Industrial symbiosis is a production practice that can mitigate the environmental impacts of production processes while generating economic benefits. However, the produced and used waste flows are usually unsynchronized and unbalanced, and depend on the main output demands of the production processes involved in the industrial symbiotic exchanges. Waste inventory can increase the environmental and economic effectiveness of this industrial practice.
