The SWAN platform is an integrated suite of online resources and tools for assessing industrial symbiotic opportunities based on solid industrial waste reuse. It has been developed as a digital solid waste reuse platform and is already applied in four countries (Greece, Bulgaria, Albania and Cyprus). The SWAN platform integrates a database with the spatial and technical characteristics of industrial solid waste producers and potential consumers, populated with data from these countries. It also incorporates an inventory of commercially implemented best practices on solid industrial waste reuse. The role of the SWAN platform is to facilitate the development of novel business cases. Towards this end, decision support services, based on a suitable matching algorithm, are provided to the registered users, helping them to identify and assess potential novel business models, based on solid waste reuse, either for an individual industrial unit (source/potential receiver of solid waste) or a specific region.

SWAN平台是在线资源和工具的集成套件，用于基于固体工业废弃物的再利用来评估工业共生机会。它已被开发为数字式固体废物再利用平台，并已在四个国家（希腊，保加利亚，阿尔巴尼亚和塞浦路斯）应用。SWAN平台集成了一个数据库，该数据库具有工业固体​​废物产生者和潜在消费者的空间和技术特征，并填充了来自这些国家/地区的数据。它还包含了有关固体工业废物再利用的商业实施最佳做法的清单。SWAN平台的作用是促进新业务案例的开发。为此，基于适当的匹配算法的决策支持服务将提供给注册用户，
