Enhancing regional resource synergies through the application of industrial ecology strategies for sustainable development in the Kwinana Industrial Area

该项目将调查工业生态战略对区域一级重工业地区，特别是奎纳纳工业区的可持续发展的潜在贡献。工业生态学模仿工业生产和消费的自然过程，以实现更好的环境、经济和社会成果。尽管其逻辑令人信服，但工业生态学面临着许多障碍。这项研究将调查这些障碍，并发展和试验克服这些障碍的创新方法，特别是通过提供便利结构、业务安排和评价工具。

The project will investigate the potential contribution of industrial ecology strategies for sustainable development at the regional level in heavy industrial areas, in particular the Kwinana Industrial Area (WA). Industrial ecology mimics natural processes in industrial production and consumption to achieve better environmental, economic and social outcomes. Despite its compelling logic, industrial ecology faces a number of barriers. This research will investigate such barriers and develop and pilot test innovative ways for overcoming those, in particular through the provision of facilitating structures, operational arrangements and evaluation tools.
