Can industrial waste become the fuel for global economic growth?
In short: Marian Chertow explores how industrial symbiosis transforms waste into resources. This video examines how networks of businesses can exchange materials and energy to create a circular economy, particularly within emerging markets.
Professor Marian Chertow highlights industrial ecology as a framework for balancing environmental benefits with economic gains. A key component of this is industrial symbiosis, which involves the geographically based exchange of water, energy, materials, and waste between different businesses.
The video focuses on the application of these principles in the developing world. Chertow's research specifically looks at how China, India, and other emerging markets can utilize these networks to improve urban sustainability and waste management.
