An optimized model for waste management using the concept of industrial symbiosis

Abstract

Managing of industrial waste is a challenging issue faced by many industries. Recovery, reuse and recycling of
industrial residuals, often dismissed as wastes, are common in industrialized countries due to lower associated costs. In this
paper alternative waste management models are developed using the principles of industrial symbiosis for effective
management of waste in a pipe manufacturing company so that by-products can be reused for different processes in industry.
Cost benefit analysis of different models is done and optimum model is identified for implementation
