Abstract
Industrial symbiosis is based on the principles of circular economy, and facilitates resource exchange offering economic, environmental, and social benefits. The food industry is a good fit for industrial symbiosis, both for energy recovery and because it produces byproducts for other actors. This paper reports on a workshop involving diverse stakeholders. The study highlights the need for enhanced stakeholder engagement and digital platforms to foster circular food systems.
