Abstract

Industrial Symbiosis (IS) encourages a collaborative approach aiming at recovering, reprocessing and reusing non-labour resources and it is a promising solution for mitigating the rising cost of non-labour resource. Introducing IS is a knowledge intensive process and researchers have developed various information and communication (ICT) tools to support the process. However, the use of these tools in the actual industrial practice has not been adequately investigated yet. This study investigates the role that ICT tools play in facilitating the process of creating IS through a case study of International Synergies – the company which facilitated the world’s first national-level IS programme (i.e. NISP UK). Results suggest that the role of digitalisation can increase practitioners’ productivity mainly through data analytics.
