Las investigaciones sobre la creación de Redes Ambientales Colaborativas (RAC) -ecología industria, ecosistemas industriales y simbiosis industrial- están en etapa temprana de desarrollo en Colombia. Esta investigación explora los principales elementos de las RAC para la construcción de sinergias entre los actores involucrados en la transformación productiva. Por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas con muestreo no probabilístico a empresas, asociaciones y gobiernos locales se identifican sus posibles beneficios y limitaciones en el desarrollo de habilidades empresariales en las redes. Los hacedores de políticas pueden encontrar orientación sobre posibles vínculos organizacionales que contribuyan a la creación de RAC en el país
Research on the creation of Collaborative Environmental Networks (CENs) — industrial ecology, industrial ecosystems and industrial symbiosis — is in the early stage of development in Colombia. This study explores the main elements of the CENs for the development of synergies between actors involved in the productive transformation. The possible benefits and limitations of developing organizational skills through the networks are identified by means of semi-structured interviews, based on a non-probabilistic sample of companies, associations and local governments. Results provide evidence aimed to acquire sustainable knowledge, strengthen skills and awareness of the benefits offered in different markets for participating in CENs. Findings indicate individual interest prevail over the collective wellbeing. The creation of networks of this type is uncommon due to distrust between the actors, which implies that most of them engage in environmental efforts in isolation.
This limits the scope of their objectives and the achievement of territorial goals. Policymakers may find guidance on possible organizational links that may contribute to the creation of CENs in the country
