摘要: In the scientific literature, there are (so far) few studies quantifying environmental benefits or sustainability of Industrial Symbiosis (IS) networks although, at same time, potential tools for these kinds assessments have been developed rapidly both in number and capacity. this article, we first review existing on performance IS systems. We draw a conclusion that usually only concentrate one limited factors also use narrow approach to system boundaries considering just impacts taking place within symbiosis. Finally, suggest The Natural Step (TNS) System Conditions could constitute basis which – through set criteria series questions derived from them would essentially steer analyses made about overall network hand.
