| Abstract | In recent years, the European Community adopted a sensitive attitude to the circular economy approach and in particular to industrial symbiosis, in order to achieve greater overall sustainability of production processes. The Emilia-Romagna Region adopted this approach, issuing a Regional Law on Circular Economy. This law provides a framework of rules and recommendations necessary and essential in order to raise public awareness and encourage good practices in the local community. This paper has the aim of presenting such regulatory framework, favourable to the development of circular economy and industrial symbiosis experiments. In this context, several initiatives have been recently realized within the regional territory. In particular, three different experiences carried out since 2012 are described in terms of activities and results: a collaborative action between the industrial sector and research institution, a transnational policy improvement action, and an example on how technological innovation can facilitate industrial symbiosis. The lessons learnt from these projects point out that regulatory and cultural aspects are perceived as the main barriers towards the systemic implementation of industrial symbiosis and therefore should be a priority for the future. |
