MIND Park / Eco-industrial park

# Eco-industrial development at MIND Park.

Eco-industrial parks are modern industrial zones where companies cooperate to make their operations more sustainable. By sharing resources, infrastructure and knowledge, companies reduce environmental impact, optimise costs and create opportunities for industrial symbiosis, using one company's resources, energy and by-products as inputs for another. MIND Park is the first brownfield eco-industrial park in the Western Balkans.
