Eco-industrial development - Why?
Maximise resource efficiencies • Reduced costs, increased revenue, reduced material use
Collaborative business opportunities • Supply, utility, by-product, and service synergies
Smarter design and operation of industrial estates • Ensure long-term license-to-operate of estate • Lower cost: infrastructure, capital, and operational costs
Minimise short and long term risks • Business, environment, and social risks
Meet government requirements & community expectations • Streamlined approval processes

Promotion of eco-industrial parks in China
Significant number of eco-industrial parks • Concept is well accepted in China
Government driven initiatives
• National Demonstrative Eco-industrial Parks (NDEIP) • National Circular Economy Parks (NCEP) • Low-carbon Parks (LCP)
Strong focus on EIP indicators • Covering range of economic and environmental topics • Different indicator sets for three government programs • Lack of indicators on industrial symbiosis, diversity, and collaboration • Vague and intricate indicators • Institutional barriers on implementing this standard

Conclusions
Source: Xxx
Eco-industrial development is proven concept • Integrating economic, environmental, and social benefits • Many case studies already exist
Each industrial estate is unique • Need for customised approaches
Success factors for eco-industrial development • Business case, technology, license to operate
Need to recognise opportunities and challenges • Long-term and short-term • Environmental and social risks are business risks!
Multi-stakeholder approaches are most successful • Industry, government, and CSOs
![Page 14: International perspectives and learnings for Australia and Asia … · This presentation • Defining industrial symbiosis and eco- industrial development ... pp. 55-72. Heaviest](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050207/5f5a6e58ccb04a479031c465/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Recommendations
Learn from international experiences and case studies • Customise, and do not re-invent the wheel
Apply collaborative approaches • Industry organisations, companies, government
Focus first on key opportunity areas • Create early successes with “quick wins”
Keep flexibility into industrial parks!! • Do not lock into one concept
Aim for integrated solutions • Addressing multiple impacts (e.g. waters, energy, employment)

• Resource processing: alumina, nickel, oil refineries, HIsmelt, etc
• Utility: power, water treatment, co-gen plants, etc
• Manufacturing: cement, chemical, fertiliser plants, etc
Best practice example of industrial synergy implementation
• 47 diverse and matured existing synergies
• World leading industry collaboration
Existing synergies result in significant benefits
• Economic, environmental, and social

Planning of eco-industrial parks in the Netherlands
EIP planning methods used: • Eco-classification system • Environmental grading system • Sustainability scan • Helping hand • Roadmap and quickscan • Development vision
Learnings • Unclear definitions • No quantitative standards • Information on industrial synergies is scarce • Economic and organisational implications were largely ignored • Environmental impacts were insufficiently monitored

Modifying existing industrial parks or plan new industrial parks?
Planning new eco-industrial parks + Optimise design of park from start - “blank canvas”
+ Allow for strategic planning of parks
- Uncertainties about industry mix and needs
- Upfront investments for eco-industrial initiatives
Optimising existing industrial parks + Build upon existing industry initiatives
+ Certainty about industry mix and needs
- Retrofitting existing infrastructure can be costly
- Dealing with “historical legacies”

Eco-industrial parks and industrial synergies One sector versus multiple sector approach
One sector approach + Create economies of scale (e.g. waste recycling)
- Potential competition between industries
Multiple sector approach + Diversity of inputs and outputs more synergies
- Potential lack of economies of scale

Eco-industrial development Policy development
Starting points: • Carefully assess targeted outcomes of policy • Prioritise industrial estates • Prioritise opportunity areas for policy intervention • Success factors for eco-industrial development • Success factors for policy intervention
Learn from international experiences • Customise, not copy
Government and industries to harmonise activities • Need to involve industry stakeholders from start
![Page 21: International perspectives and learnings for Australia and Asia … · This presentation • Defining industrial symbiosis and eco- industrial development ... pp. 55-72. Heaviest](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050207/5f5a6e58ccb04a479031c465/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Eco-industrial development Management models for industrial parks
Industry ownership is key • Facilitate multi-stakeholder processes
Focus on issues affecting industrial estate as a whole
Clearly define roles and responsibilities • E.g. coordination, liaison, promotion, viability and growth • Formation of priority based committees
Focus on key priorities of estate initially • Expand priorities of management body over time
![Page 22: International perspectives and learnings for Australia and Asia … · This presentation • Defining industrial symbiosis and eco- industrial development ... pp. 55-72. Heaviest](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050207/5f5a6e58ccb04a479031c465/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Dick van Beers Sustainability Engineering 22 22 WRF IS Workshop, 1 June 2015, Sydney
Eco-industrial development Public-private investments
Ensure that shared facilities in estate meet needs of industries • Shared facilities and infrastructure require upfront investment
Opportunities for flexible module based facilities • Expand facilities / infrastructure as demand grows
E.g. Water treatment, energy supply, waste processing
Existing versus new industrial estates • New estates: incorporate costs into industry contribution scheme • Existing estates: distribute costs among users (industries)
Consider AND communicate full benefits as part of business case • Long-term and short-term • Environmental and social risks are business risks!
