Partial New-Aquitaine: Industrial and territorial ecology (EIT) — Communes (surface)

This dataset contains the municipalities (surface objects), concerned by the industrial and territorial ecology (EIT) procedures of New Aquitaine. PLEASE NOTE: this dataset is not exhaustive on the perimeter of New Aquitaine, it concerns the perimeters of the former regions Limousin and Poitou-Charentes. Based on a systemic approach, industrial and territorial ecology (EIT) is an operational approach that draws on natural ecosystems to strive for optimal material and energy management: the industrial system can be considered as a particular form of ecosystem. Thus, like the functioning of food chains in the natural environment, waste and co-products of one activity can become a resource for another activity. Companies can reuse their production residues (vapours, co-products, exhaust gas, effluents, waste, etc.) between themselves, or with local authorities, and thus limit pollution, the collection of resources, the production of waste and energy consumption.
