Abstract
Searching for solutions, which restrict consumption of resources and exhausts of green-house gases, is essential for providing stable economic growth. Industrial symbiosis turned to be a strong ally in reaching ecological, economic and social goals, which is proved by a rising number of publications on the subject. A higher proliferation of industrial symbiosis was observed in Europe and Asia, especially in China, which is connected with state policy realization. In manufacturing sector contracts of industrial symbiosis were signed not only because of the increasing amount of waste, but due to the possibility to integrate waste and by-products in production cycle. It affected mainly chemical, cement, pulp and paper and steel-making industry and oil-refining plants. In case wastes of other industries are used, not only positive effect for the company is feasible. Wastes are often of lower quality than initial materials, which they substitute for. The article shows how companies can control the waste quality by integrating waste suppliers in operative processes of the company - buyer. The author substantiated that control of the waste quality is the key possibility for industrial symbiosis, especially when companies would like to raise the efficiency of their work in the field.
