True climate action also means pushing beyond basic recycling. By applying the advanced 10R framework—Rethink, Reduce, Repurpose—within our ecosystems, we multiply carbon savings. The higher up the waste hierarchy we operate, the deeper the impact. 🔄⚙️ #IndustrialSymbiosis

With the rapid rollout of CSRD and ESRS frameworks, "green" claims are no longer enough. Shared ecosystems demand hard KPIs. Tracking exact GHG emission reductions across interconnected industries is complex, but essential for genuine accountability. 📉🔍 #ClimateAction

24 October is Intl Day of Climate Action! 🌍 We all know the environmental benefits of shared resource loops. But the next frontier isn't just building these networks—it's rigorously proving their impact. Data is the new climate action. 📊 #ClimateAction #IndustrialSymbiosis

We want to hear from the network: What do you see as the biggest bottleneck in measuring the true climate impact of industrial ecosystems? Is it data sharing, regulatory hurdles, or standardizing ESG metrics? Let’s push the conversation forward today. 👇🗣️ #ClimateAction

This is exactly what our Working Groups are tackling now. We are focusing on standardizing metrics, aligning policy, and breaking down regulatory silos so cross-border resource sharing can scale rapidly. Climate action requires harmonized European rules. 🇪🇺⚖️ #ClimateAction

Water circularity is crucial! 💧 Treated municipal wastewater can be reused in industrial cooling and processing, freeing up precious freshwater reservoirs for cities and drinking water supplies. 🚰🌱 #UrbanOctober #IndustrialSymbiosis

Great progress at the recent @COSTprogramme LIAISE WG meeting hosted by @refalopaul & Massimo Borg at @UMmalta! 🇲🇹 From technical synergies to policy mapping, we're working hard to strengthen #IndustrialSymbiosis adoption. ♻️ Read more: um.edu.mt/newspoint/discuss/…

That’s where LIAISE COST Action steps in! 🇪🇺 We bring together researchers, municipalities, industry leaders, and innovators across Europe to develop cross-sector frameworks, business models, and collaborative tools. 👥💡 #UrbanOctober #IndustrialSymbiosis

The climate impact is real. 📉 By closing material and energy loops locally, I-US cuts greenhouse gas emissions, slashes virgin resource extraction, and significantly lowers transport footprints. 🌍🚛 #UrbanOctober #IndustrialSymbiosis

🏙️➡️🏭 Urban to Industry: Municipal solid waste, wastewater, and organic food scraps don't have to end up in landfills. Local industries can recover them as secondary raw materials, nutrients, or alternative fuel sources. ♻️✨ #UrbanOctober #IndustrialSymbiosis

Beyond environmental benefits, I-US drives local economic resilience. 💼 It reduces disposal and raw material costs for businesses, creates local green jobs, and protects cities from volatile global supply chains. 📈💶 #UrbanOctober #IndustrialSymbiosis

🏭➡️🏙️ Industry to Urban: Did you know that excess heat from factories, data centers, and industrial plants can warm nearby homes, schools, and hospitals through district heating networks? 🌡️🏘️ Powering communities with recovered energy! #UrbanOctober #IndustrialSymbiosis

So why isn't it everywhere yet? 🚧 Barriers include regulatory silos, fragmented spatial planning, lack of trust, and missing data on resource availability between municipalities and private companies. 🧩📑 #UrbanOctober #IndustrialSymbiosis

Happy #UrbanOctober! 🏙️ As cities grow, so does the need to rethink resource flows. At LIAISE COST Action, we explore how Industrial-Urban Symbiosis (I-US) turns city waste into industrial wealth and vice versa. Let’s dive in! 🧵👇 #UrbanOctober #IndustrialSymbiosis

Sustainable cities can't exist in isolation from the industries that supply them. Bridging the urban-industrial divide is essential for achieving true circularity and climate-neutral cities by 2030 and 2050. 🌆🌿 #UrbanOctober #IndustrialSymbiosis

GREAT NEWS! Our next working groups meeting takes place Sept 23-24 at the @UMmalta , Valletta Campus! 🇲🇹 We are gathering to advance the cross-border transfer of industrial symbiosis and discuss sustainable circular business models. 🌍♻️ #IndustrialSymbiosis #LIAISE

🎙️ New #LIAISE podcast! How can #IndustrialSymbiosis boost regional competitiveness and resilience? Moderated by Oliana Sula, with Aleksandar Erceg, Rachel Lombadi and Sorina Koti. 🎧 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6Vc… ▶️ YouTube: youtu.be/X3NK5xJIslM
