Abstract
The application of eco-industrial development (EID) has attracted increasing attention worldwide leading to diverse implementation strategies of EID including eco-industrial parks and industrial symbiosis. As eco-industrial developments have resulted in varying levels of success it is necessary for new EID programmes to understand the lessons from both the successful and less successful earlier cases. This study has been undertaken to compare the implication of the National Industrial symbiosis Programme (NISP) in the UK, regarded as an active EID case, with the Korean eco-industrial park scheme as a newly implemented one. The two EID models were analysed with a framework centred on three practical aspects: the underlying approach to EID, the organisational framework and the operational framework. Comparing the two models based on the three aspects, this study suggests several implications for the implementation of EID in Korea, including business centred approach, expanding EIPs to regional EID, standardising operational framework and developing innovative synergy generation tools.
