The evidence reported in this chapter shows that the cooperation between government, academia and private sector in Portugal, based on industrial ecology principles and tools, has been able to signifi cantly improve waste management
performance in Portugal, since the late 1990s, making it an important actor of the
green economy, by combining better environmental performance with economic
growth and job creation, critical dimensions for enabling sustainable development.
