I was invited to join Green Corporate Network because of my interest and work in Industrial Ecology and Industrial Symbiosis, which are my Green Mission

My Green Mission

My Green Mission focuses on transforming the paradigm of our economies by taking lessons from natural ecosystems and applying it to industrial systems. Therefore, we strive to close material and energy loops as best as possible. This is the focus of Industrial Ecology.
I am focused in a subset called Industrial Symbiosis, which tries to transpose symbiosis to industries, by fostering waste exchanges and residual energy between two or more different industries, in which wastes of one company become raw material for the other.
I am working on the first Industrial Symbiois Network to be developed in the region of Chamusca, Portugal.
