2 Development of international standardized approach for Eco-Industrial Parks Smail ALHILALI SIA March 2017 Rabat, Morocco

3 Definition: Eco-Industrial Park is a community of manufacturing and service businesses located on common property. Members seek enhanced environmental, economic and social performance through collaboration in managing environmental and resource issues. (Lowe 1997)

4 Cumulative number of EIPs Global spread-out of Eco-Industrial Parks Non-OECD OECD Source: World Bank, 2015

5 Eco-industrial parks: Global Assessment El Salvador 2 Morocco 2 Tunisia 2 Egypt 2 China 6 Colombia 2 Viet Nam 2 Costa Rica 1 Peru 3 India 6 Cambodia 2 South Africa 3 Objective Document and assess EIP and alike developments in developing and emerging economies: 13 countries, 33 industrial parks, 12 policy assessments

6 Eco-industrial parks: Global Assessment - Findings EIP is a valid approach for scaling up resource efficiency and cleaner production in industrial zones in developing and emerging economies! However: EIPs mean different things to different people Practice does not yet match ambition Process based interpretation appears most useful Good practice elements exist, yet need of a standardized approach in planning, development and management of industrial parks.

7 From Industrial Park towards Eco-Industrial Park Service Provision Stakeholder Engagement

8 Key Components of Eco-Industrial Parks Park management Company level resource efficiency and cleaner production Industrial symbiosis and synergies Integration with local community and natural environment Spatial planning and zoning Collective park level infrastructure and utility services Material use - Energy - Water Waste - Emissions Key components of Eco-Industrial Parks

9 Different Types of Eco-Industrial Parks Fully developed (Brownfield) Large area (> 1000 ha) Companies from multiple sectors Dedicated industrial zone Defined resource recovery services High tech Production & manufacturing High intensity of collaboration Development stage Park area Industry sectors Defined industrial area Specific mission Technology development Type of activity Intensity of collaboration Not yet developed (Greenfield) Small area (< 200 ha) Companies from one or few sectors Integrated industrial-urban area Not clearly defined Low tech Commercial services Low intensity of collaboration

10 Eco-Industrial Parks and sustainable cities Company level Industrial Park level City level Individual RECP solutions Resource Efficiency & Cleaner Production: Materials efficiency Water efficiency Energy efficiency Industrial Symbiosis Collective RECP solutions Operation & Management of: Common Infrastructures Resources Supply (Water, Energy, Materials) Environmental & Social Services Urban Symbiosis Waste Management Recycling industries Environmental services Energy services Corporate Social Responsibility

11 Eco industrial park benefits for cities and industries Beneficiaries Authorities Environment Industries Cities Reduced use of raw materials, water and energy Minimized GHG emissions, reduced release of chemicals Reduced waste through resource circularity Shared recycling facilities Improved competitiveness and profitability Creation of good-quality jobs Improved workers health and safety Increased quality of life for communities Better access to new technologies and finances

12 Eco industrial parks: towards a standardized approach need for process standards for all industrial parks and performance standards for eco-industrial parks Joint cooperation Towards a common framework Time-line of joint cooperation

13 EIP: Performance Assessment Scheme Work in Progress

14 Compliance with national regulations An Eco-Industrial Park, as a collective entity and its residing companies, should be in compliance with all national and local level laws, regulations and standards that are set in scope of environmental and social management. In general, the compliance provisions are explicitly detailed in the environmental and social impact assessment of the industrial park The compliance with national regulations is the baseline for an industrial park to apply for becoming an eco-industrial park. It is recognised that compliance and enforcement levels can vary between countries. Therefore, in countries where regulatory frameworks have not yet fully matured, compliance refers also international conventions applicable to the park and its residing companies.

15 Examples of compliance regimes National regulations on environment Air emission limits (e.g. SOx, NOx, particulate matter); Water discharge limits (e.g. heavy metals, COD, BOD, ph); Waste management (e.g. labeling, storage, contaminants, treatment requirements, hazardous waste handling restrictions); Noise limits (e.g. maximum and ambient noise levels in Decibels); Protection of natural environments and biodiversity (e.g. sensitive marine environments, native forests, flora and fauna); National regulations on social aspects Labour laws/regulations (e.g. working hours, child labour); Occupational Health and Safety (e.g. protective clothing and equipment, safety features of machines); Human rights (including women rights); Protection of indigenous people (e.g. Traditional, Tribal and other land-connected people); Anti-corruption (e.g. access to information, accountability, bribery, conflict of interest); Violence and crime prevention (e.g. cybercrimes, theft, violence against women, children, elderly);

16 EIP: Performance Assessment Scheme Key components and requisites of Eco-Industrial Parks: i) Park management structure; ii) iii) iv) Spatial planning and zoning; Company level resource efficiency and cleaner production; Industrial symbiosis and synergies; v) Shared utility services, environment and social infrastructures; vi) Integration with local community and natural environment. Economic, environmental, social performance criteria: Performance impacts refer to beneficial or adverse changes to the environment, society, economy, wholly or partially resulting from industrial park activities including park management and companies operating in the park.

21 EIP: Bronze, Silver & Gold requirements Work in Progress Aim: to achieve a balance between developing a meaningful level of requirements and indicators that can appropriately distinguish genuine Eco-Industrial Parks from traditional or poorly performing industrial parks. Structure of the requirements: Topics: key topics and sub-topics which are considered relevant as components/ requisites of Eco-Industrial Parks and their environmental, social and economic performance. Criteria: performance indicators for each of the (sub-) topics, including clarification if the indicator is applicable to greenfield and/or industrial park. Requirements: minimum (bronze level), silver and gold performance level requirements for each indicator.

22 Defining the specific requirements for EIPs Work in Progress Focus on key environmental, social, and economic impacts, rather than focusing on very detailed requirements which may differ per industrial park Key focus on compliance + types of indicators as compliance with national and local regulations should be the minimum requirements for all industrial parks Aim for maximum three indicators per (sub-) topic in order to keep indicator set practical and manageable Include indicators which can be monitored, managed or influenced by the park management or companies in the industrial park Consider data availability, measurability and confidentiality. Indicators should not extensively burden the park operator entity or companies Achieve a balance of qualitative and quantitative indicators
