A collaboration platform for enabling industrial symbiosis: Application of the database engine for eco-efficient waste-to-resource conversions

In previous work, we presented a web-based graph database engine to enable companies to find pathways to convert their wastes to resource to enable industrial symbiosis (IS). In this paper, we extend the database to include water streams, and cost and carbon footprint (CFP) of pathways for waste-to-...

Description
Summary:In previous work, we presented a web-based graph database engine to enable companies to find pathways to convert their wastes to resource to enable industrial symbiosis (IS). In this paper, we extend the database to include water streams, and cost and carbon footprint (CFP) of pathways for waste-to-resource conversion. To support companies’ decision making for waste-to-resource conversion pathways, we enhanced the database query processor based on a graph algorithm to identify eco-efficient pathways to convert waste to resource based on user's preference. We demonstrate the application of this methodology using a case study of wastewater to water resource.
