“…e close relationship between the chemical industry and a city (and its population) reflects the global consumption and market orientation of chemical production [4,5]. e economy of cities that rely on chemical and related industries can develop rapidly [6][7][8]. However, the decline in oil production and global oil prices has led cities with chemical industries to diversify their industrial and service activities [6].…”

Exploring the Classification and Restructuring of Chemical Industrial Cities in China: The Perspectives of Sectoral and Spatial Differences

As an economic pillar, major resource consumer, and polluter of cities, the chemical industry determines many cities’ transformation, prosperity, and decay. It is thus a major concern for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In China, which is at the stage of accelerated industrialization that is varied across regions, the chemical industry has gradually retreated from developed cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, in the eastern region, and has become the inevitable choice for industrialization of less-developed cities, such as Xi’an, Chengdu, and Chongqing, in the western region. This study took the perspectives of chemical industrial sectors and their spatial differences to understand the changing patterns of the chemical industry and its dominant cities. It identified chemical industrial cities (CICs), examined their spatial-temporal patterns with respect to their industry scale and structure, and accounted for factors influencing the spatial evolution from coastal areas to inland regions. The results show that large CICs were mainly located in coastal port regions with balanced industrial sectors, while small CICs were mainly distributed in inland areas with abundant oil and coal resources and a single dominant industrial sector. The location factors of ports, markets, and technology play important roles in the eastern region, while resource conditions and foreign direct investment promote the chemical industry’s development in the central, western, and northeastern cities. These findings improve the understanding of CICs’ spatial transformation and shed light on the policy-making of chemical industrial development in China and other developing countries.

“…In a traditional linear economy, companies often locate production units near virgin resources to reduce supply, purchase, transportation, and transaction costs (Genc et al, 2020) and gradually expand into industrial parks. The rapid development of industrial parks has accelerated the waste of large amounts of resources and notable environmental pollution.…”

Innovation strategies for the promotion of solid waste recycling technologies include not only new technologies for resource utilization of solid waste but also sustainable business models to support the adoption of these technologies. This study presents how to incorporate the determinant factors affecting technology promotion and business strategy into a sustainable business model for the promotion of solid waste recycling technologies. A systematic literature review summarizes the determinant factors affecting the aforementioned promotion, including market-, policy-, company-, and technology-related factors. Combined with the theoretical background of the sustainable business model, this study analyzes that for the promotion of solid waste recycling technologies from value dimensions (value proposition, value creation & delivery, and value capture) and sustainability dimensions (economic, social, and environmental). We confirm the importance of incorporating determinant factors into the sustainable business model from the analysis of the Daye Non-Ferrous Metal Recycling Park. Our case study proposes that innovation of the sustainable business model needs to drive changes in business strategy. To promote the aforementioned technologies, we propose an Internet-based technology service platform as the core strategy of the sustainable business model. As the private sector, technology companies can make full use of technological innovation, public policies, and the market environment to achieve and develop sustained competitive advantages through an Internet-based platform and to effectively enhance the promotion of solid waste recycling technologies and help achieve sustainable development.

“…In another valuable study recently published by Genc et al (2020); the purpose of this research which is entitled "Circular Eco-Industrial Park design inspired by nature: An integrated non-linear optimization, location, and food web analysis", is to present an innovative design approach for EIPs considering the potential exchange of waste between plants that is potentially deployed in EIPs with the aim of eliminating market side effects and trade dynamics; the use of this integrated method is demonstrated in a scenario analysis for four theoretical EIPs, considering the two construction industries as an anchor industry and two due to the accidental entry of different industries that can exchange waste with the construction industry. The Genc et al study is a basic study that for the first time considers three methods for designing IS networks in the form of EIP (Genc et al 2020).…”

Analyzing and Evaluating Industrial Ecology Development Model in Iran Using FAHP-DPSIR

et al. 2021

Today, attention to the issue of industrial ecology in the world has become very high and significant, but in Iran this attention does not exist and is only a slogan and preliminary studies. The purpose of this study is to investigate these conditions and provide a structure and model for the implementation of industrial ecology in Iran. Industrial estates are one of the major centers of producing energy and industrial waste in the country. Developing Industrial Ecology (IE) faces significant obstacles. This study evaluates the barriers due to a combination model, including the DPSIR and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). It prioritizes the responses and alternatives regarding the driving forces, pressures, states, and impacts (criteria). In this study, different responses for IE development in Iran were evaluated and prioritized based on different indicators classified based on DPSIR and FAHP techniques and models. The results suggest prioritizing future IE development in Iran based on current infrastructure and conditions. To compare the analysis of two fuzzy numbers, a new division method based on a comparative example is used; to confirm the proposed method, a comparative example is described and presented. According to the field studies and research background of the research, the number of "18 criteria" and "four responses" were suggested. Finally, improving IE legal is the first step of modifying the industries clustering system, establishing IE national database and industries training. According to the identified priorities, practical suggestions for the development of Iran's industrial environmental model within the framework of legal requirements, infrastructure and regulations that should be developed or updated, were presented and the duties of relevant legal agencies were identified and proposed.
