Study on a tool to design industrial network for regional Zero-Emission

Abstract

To establish material recycle society oriented for zero emission, it is important to optimize regional material cycle, to make efficiency of resource consumption rise and to minimize environmental load To construct industrial network, that waste generated from an industry is used the other industries, is needed. In this study we develop a tool to design the industrial network. The tool consists of (1) estimation regional elemental flow (2) design the industrial network using elemental composition of waste. This tool can also estimate waste reduction by the network. From results, this tool can select existed recycle as industrial network candidates. We apply this tool to Aichi prefecture and estimate possibility of waste reduction by industrial network.
