Ports conventionally are spaces for logistics, where resources and goods can be moved efficiently between land and water. But if a port focuses on logistics, it offers very limited value for the circular economy and will stimulate consumption through prioritising transported goods.<\/p>\n<p>Many ports include spaces for processing, treating and transforming resources. This kind of infrastructure allows ports to become nodes for resource management and \u2018value creation\u2019. Ports may also host infrastructure for producing, maintaining or harvesting resources. Diversity of infrastructure allows ports to perform the role of circular resource hubs.<\/p>\n<p>Other complementary infrastructure can be useful to further elevate the capacity for ports to drive innovation within the circular economy. For example, spaces in or near the port can be critical for supporting services like research labs, incubators and business parks to advance technology, processes and services.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, developing close physical links between ports and consumers can help the port to develop more complex production chains on the site.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_f9d0b101 height_large\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_middle type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-3 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-separator size_custom\" style=\"height:6rem\"><\/div><div class=\"w-image has_ratio align_left\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><div style=\"padding-bottom:100%\"><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.sidekick.be\/circularports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4-5_75413126.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-9 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_5fb5abd6 has_text_color\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Ports as circular systems<\/h2>\n<p>Ports may be treated as nodes within a larger system of resource production, distribution and transformation. In an ideal scenario, the waste of one operator, business or port can be used by another. This is referred to as <a href=\"https:\/\/demo.sidekick.be\/circularports\/library\/patterns-of-circular-transition-what-is-the-circular-economy-maturity-of-belgian-ports\/\">\u2018symbiosis\u2019<\/a>. Through symbiosis, co-dependencies are created between businesses or port-related activities.<\/p>\n<p>The actual impact of the symbiosis will depend on the production facilities and the scale the resources are being treated.<em> Industrial symbiosis<\/em> functions at a local scale, or the scale of a port. At a larger scale, city-ports may be providing <em>urban symbiosis<\/em> by processing resources into and out of urban centres. At an even larger scale, <em>territorial symbiosis<\/em> is about treating a series of ports, connected through a water way, as being the scale of action.<\/p>\n<p>Each of these scales has benefits and disadvantages. For example, industrial symbiosis may offer trust between port operators, yet with a limited pool of port-related activities to provide for suitable exchanges of resources. At a territorial scale, there is a wider diversity of activities, but distances may be too great for some resources to be transported.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_c70c97eb height_large\"><div class=\"l-section-h
