Industrial symbiosis is when companies trade by-products or waste and thus “close the circle” to create a zero-waste rating. In a recent report by the head of the School of Environmental Sciences, Prof. Ofira Ayalon and her interdisciplinary research team surveyed 75 Israeli manufacturers, managers, and engineers and applied their findings to promote policy tools required to advance industrial environmental symbiosis. A new course by Haifa Innovation Labs teaches about circular economy and circular business models.
