Purpose: The objective of this study focused on conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) of Sustainable Industrial Parks (SIPs) and their impact in Ecuador.
Theoretical Framework: SIPs are an effective tool for implementing Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID) and are an instrument to increase impact with efficient use of resources and cleaner production.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodology adhered to three widely accepted steps for a SLR comprising: planning, execution and dissemination of the analysis. The data review period dates from January 1, 2003 to October 31, 2022, using crawlers such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science and Dialnet, considering rigorous methods of inclusion and exclusion.
Findings: The results of this study have provided evidence towards the design of a Circular Economy (CE) integration model through Industrial Symbiosis (IS), with agent-based modeling (ABM) adapted to the authenticity of the Ecuadorian industry and to manufacturing with a sustainable mentality.
Research, Practical & Social implications: This research through the RSL extracted essential information that highlighted and unified different concepts of SIPs, the congruent point of its functionality and the signs of change that Ecuador shows framed under the concept of CE, beginning to an era of transition extinguished mainly to the current four dimensions of sustainability, focused on economic values, environmental, social and political aspects.
Originality/Value: The current study contributes to the literature by showing that industrial development involves pollution and reducing it awakens the use of methodologies aimed at satisfying sustainability needs without involving the capacity of future generations.
