Advancing circular economy in SloveniaDžajić Uršič, Erika (Avtor) Pandiloska Jurak, Alenka (Avtor) Fric, Urška (Avtor) Topić Božič, Jelena (Avtor) Muhič, Simon (Avtor) Kolar, Janez (Avtor) industrial symbiosisnetworkscircular Economyresource efficiencySloveniaThis article reviews the development and strengths of Industrial Symbiosis Networks (ISN) in Slovenia, which is crucial for transitioning to a Circular Economy (CE). Industrial Symbiosis (IS), as one of the tools for implementing a circular economy, promotes the collaborative use of resources, energy, and waste among industries, enhancing resource efficiency and reducing environmental impact. However, challenges such as inadequate regulatory support, underdeveloped markets for secondary raw materials, financial constraints, lack of awareness, and data-sharing issues hinder IS adoption. This article systematically reviews CE opportunities to enhance IS, including examples, digital platforms, eco-industrial parks, and government initiatives, using the PRISMA model (Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis). By addressing these challenges and leveraging opportunities, Slovenia can further integrate IS into its industrial framework, advancing its CE goals. This analysis provides a foundation for future research and policy development in Slovenian Industrial Symbiosis.20242025-05-19 14:07:06Neznano11677UDK: 316.334.23:338:502.131.1ISSN pri članku: 2463-8226COBISS_ID: 236366083sl
