The INSET Observatory is coming soon: an open-access hub for Industrial Symbiosis resources. Over 100 materials have already been compiled to support businesses and stakeholders in advancing circular economy practices.

In the coming months, the INSET project will launch a new key resource: the INSET Observatory, conceived as a dynamic and open-access hub for Industrial Symbiosis (IS) information.

The Observatory is designed as a live and continuously updated space, gathering valuable knowledge and practical tools to support businesses, stakeholders, and policymakers in advancing Industrial Symbiosis and strengthening the circular economy. It will centralise relevant content such as legislation, training courses, technical reports, methodologies, case studies, and other materials that contribute to raising awareness and deepening understanding of this powerful circular approach.

So far, the INSET partnership has already compiled more than 100 resources addressing different aspects of Industrial Symbiosis. These resources cover regulatory frameworks, business practices, implementation strategies, capacity-building opportunities, and key thematic areas linked to circular economy transitions. This initial collection represents a strong foundation that will continue to grow throughout the project’s lifetime.

The INSET Observatory will be fully open access, ensuring that its impact extends well beyond the 36 months of the project. By making these materials publicly available, INSET aims to facilitate knowledge transfer, support businesses in adopting Industrial Symbiosis practices, and contribute to a more resilient, sustainable, and competitive European economy.

Stay tuned for the official launch of the INSET Observatory — a new space to explore, learn, and connect around Industrial Symbiosis.
