The TEDA cluster developed and operates a circular economy and waste-free digital platform enabling cluster members to visualize 

and facilitate industrial symbiotic relationships to increase resilience, reduce landfill waste, taxes and related costs. 

 This was facilitated through: 

• Visualization and Collaboration Platforms enable users to input standardized by-product exchange and emission data, simplifying carbon tracking and compliance procedures
• Big Data and Analytics identify connections between waste by-products and resource demand, enabling intelligent matching between cluster companies
• Digital Labels ensure waste traceability with real-time tracking from generation to recycling

Since launching the platform four years ago, the TEDA cluster has: 

• Connected 1,000+ enterprises 
• Enabled 150+ industrial symbiosis relationships 
• Reduced landfill waste by 0.98m tons 
• Cut CO2 e emissions by 170,000 tons
