Torrent Estadella Eco-Industrial Park - Reference
Hartberg Eco-Park / Hartberg, Austria / 1997 Hartberg Eco-Park is a mixture of sustainability-aware businesses, a research center on ecology and renewable ressources and a theme park on ecology, nature and sustainability. If Torrent Estadella would be turned into a state-of-the-art Eco-Industrial park, visits could be organized to show and explain the functionning of the site’s sustainability measures. “At the current location on the edge of Hartberg, the town’s public utility company as a municipal subsidiary ran the municipal brick company for decades. After the brickearth supply was exhausted at the end of the 1990s, the production had to be closed for good in 1999. Comprehensive production site analyses and studies were carried out to determine a further use of the 15 ha site. Starting an ecologically-oriented innovation centre was found to be the most promising thing to do. The intention was to combine commercial, research and adventure sites under the umbrella term of ecology. Accordingly, companies were located there which were supposed to cooperate and, ideally, conduct a recycling economy. It is worth mentioning that several enterprises dealing with alternative energies and waste management of existing commercial chemical substances were found for the Ecopark site. Furthermore, service, catering and trade businesses settled here. At present there are more than 30 enterprises at the Hartberg Ecopark site, with about 130 staff. The Hartberg utility company workers, the site operator, have not been included in these figures.” Source > Hartberg Eco-Park website
“Hartberg Ecopark is a business park containing only businesses, industries and research institutions that are deemed to be ecologically aware. The project aims to create a network to develop scientific, structural, economic and marketing support to the businesses within the park. The park contains three connected fields of activity. Firstly, an ecological business park, containing companies involved in environmental production and ecological services. The park provides companies with the opportunity to enter into co-operation in waste exchange programmes etc. Secondly, an exhibition and recreational park that provides permanent exhibitions on topics, such as water, energy and waste. Thirdly, a research centre where constant scientific development is undertaken to assist the companies on the park. The public utilities company, Stadtwerke Hartberg, was responsible for the initial development of the Ecopark in 1996, and a development corporation was established in 1997 to establish the structural and financial basis of the park. The corporation consists of Stadtwerke Hartberg and two banks. Stadtwerke Hartberg covered the majority of the financial needs of the park. The banks have also made considerable contributions. Additionally, the project is subsidised by public funding from national and regional development funds.”
