Industrial Symbiosis in Industrial Parks: A Governance Toolkit | CCRI Knowledge Hub Workshop

How can industrial parks, zones, cities and regions move from circular opportunities to coordinated implementation? This CCRI Knowledge Hub workshop unpacks the governance that makes industrial symbiosis work in practice. Recorded in the framework of the EU-funded CCRI Knowledge Hub project, the session explores why industrial symbiosis requires far more than a technical match between waste streams and potential users. Reliable data, trust, facilitation, clear agreements, pilot testing and impact monitoring are what turn circular ideas into real, lasting collaboration. In this workshop you will learn: • Why technical waste-stream matches are only the starting point for industrial symbiosis • The role of reliable data, trust and facilitation in circular collaboration • How clear agreements, pilot testing and impact monitoring support implementation • How makerspaces and circular innovation ecosystems enable experimentation and local transformation Featured contributions: • Terence Fagan (Fab City Charlotte) shares the Charlotte Super Fab Lab showcase and its Maker-to-Manufacturer approach. • Katharina Kloibhofer (Fab City Linz – The Grand Garage) presents how makerspaces and circular innovation ecosystems can support experimentation, collaboration and local transformation.
