Industrial Symbiosis, Resource Audit and Circular Eco districts in Italy through the Implementation of a National Plan: Opportunities and Challenges

The systematic adoption of industrial symbiosis solutions, resource audit practices, and the transition towards circular eco district models representing the Italian evolution of eco industrial parks is progressively establishing itself as an operational approach within national production systems. 
In line with the main European policies supporting the transition towards a circular economy (Circular Economy Action Plan, Green Deal, EU Industrial Strategy, Clean Industrial Act, Industrial Accelerator Act, …), the development of a National Plan dedicated to these strategies may represent a significant added value for the country. This also includes the introduction of appropriate tools aimed at promoting the dissemination of standardized methodologies and interoperable digital instruments. Within this framework, the 10th edition of the Conference of the Italian Industrial Symbiosis Network (SUN) aims to collect technical and scientific contributions from organizations that have implemented industrial symbiosis initiatives, resource audits, and sustainability and circularity solutions within industrial areas, thus contributing to the transition towards eco industrial park models. Contributions are also invited on support tools, digital platforms, governance models, and planning initiatives adopted at national and local levels to promote the implementation and dissemination of these practices. 
This edition of the conference is dedicated to the memory of Silvia Sbaffoni, an ENEA researcher who devoted much of her scientific work, always with passion and competence, to these themes.
