Abstract
With the increasing severity of climate change and global warming, interest in mitigating carbon emissions is growing. Strategies such as carbon tax, carbon cap and cap-and-trade systems have proven effective in reducing emissions. One promising approach to cleaner production is the Industrial Symbiosis (IS) which minimizes environmental impacts by reducing waste and conserving natural resources. IS enables businesses to share resources such as waste heat, water and materials resulting from production with other businesses that can use these outputs as inputs. Essentially, IS networks function as closed-loop supply chains, where waste and by-products are continuously repurposed. Studies have shown that these networks, which focus especially on by-product and waste sharing, positively affect other environmental and social goals. However, it is unclear how IS networks respond to different carbon reduction strategies of governments. To explore this, we utilize multi-objective models that focus on the objectives of maximizing total profit and minimizing raw material use within the IS network. Our research aims to understand how carbon reduction strategies influence the emissions in the network as well as the material and by-product flows. We believe this research will contribute to a better understanding of IS network dynamics and supports the development of effective management strategies for promoting sustainable production practices.
