AIEN is a vibrant network of like-minded individuals, companies and institutions with a common interest in sustainable development through the study and practice of industrial ecology.

We advocate the principles and concepts of industrial ecology (IE) in policy formation and business practice. The AIEN actively engages with organisations to facilitate improved performance and environmental benefit.

AIEN acts as a catalyst in facilitating the collaboration of industrial ecology solutions that addresses the gaps in Australia’s current fragmented and uncoordinated approach. AIEN aims to bring industry, government, and community stakeholders together to capitalise on IE opportunities and resolve emerging issues with coordinated solutions.
