In industrial symbiosis, the overall amount of waste can be easily decreased. The aim of this project was the reduction of waste production and the promotion of innovative technologies of waste management via the compilation of existing studies which contain ideas for cleaner production and industrial ecology. The project also aimed to create action plans for innovative industrial symbiotic actions (waste management) to reduce the production of waste among SMEs. The partners organized a series of seminars for SMEs in the field of industrial symbiosis and industrial ecology, including the introduction and promotion of innovative approaches to reduce the amount of raw materials, waste and emissions by industrial symbiosis.
