Industrial parks are activity areas in which several industries are concentrated in the same space. Often with a bad image because of the problems they may cause (pollution, damage to biodiversity, etc.) and because of individual and not very environmentally friendly management of resources, industries in parks today want to pool their utilities more, taking advantage of their proximity, with a view to combining economy, performance and environmental protection.
Sharing premises and infrastructure, exchanging products and services, pooling water, waste and energy management are all aspects of an "eco-industrial" park, the name given to industrial parks that create a symbiosis between their different industries within a sustainable development and circular economy approach that means the waste of some becomes a resource for others. Veolia offers its expertise and encourages these industries to think of themselves as a single unit by supporting them in an optimized and joint approach to managing their resources.
