While industrialization brought wealth and development to the economies, it has also carried along many externalities, and one of these is industrial pollution. Applying ecology to industrial parks seems to be a win-win solution.
An unofficial count revealed that there are about 4,000 industrial estates in Asia nowadays. This volume of clustered industrial activities can create significant impact, depending on the choice of management. In a short period the eco-industrial park has evolved from a visionary concept to hundreds of projects seeking to implement the concept around the world. This rapid dissemination has naturally led to differing understandings of what the term means. The broader definition of eco-industrial park yields many more strategies to further the important transition to the Circular Economy by identifying the EIP as a hub to regional economic development. In this way, the EIP has a very active economic role in creating or expanding enterprises and opening employment opportunities while increasing productivity of resource use and lowering pollution. The “eco” in the name stands for economic as well as ecological benefits. In China the State EPA has identified the EIP as one of the important tools for realizing the Circular Economy. However, many specific pilot project plans have focused on company exchanges or “eco-chains” rather than using the full systems definition.
This workshop aims at unfolding an EIP landscape right in front of you, helping you with understanding the deeper concept of EIP and sharing the experience with you.
