Abstract: The increasing industrial requirements as a result of developing technology, has rapidly raise the energy and water sources consumption and increased the produced waste as well. Therefore, new methods were searched to protect water sources, waste recycling/reuse, energy saving and efficiency. Industrial symbiosis approaches has the power to increase of environmental performance by producing more reusable materials and the energy saving processes. In this study, potential of industrial symbiosis was determined by survey on some firms in the Konya city. It has been created a network of Industrial Symbiosis Management System by using the collected data. As a result, it was aimed to create easily accessible web-based management system by matching the wastes of the firms which have symbiotic potential with the raw materials they needed. Some targets of this system are reducing of waste production and disposal cost, increasing of energy efficiency and adaptation to the environment by reuse of waste.
