  abstract     = {{Industrial symbiosis (IS) is a collaborative strategy in which participating companies exchange materials, energy, and other resources, often by converting byproducts into valuable inputs. When such collaborations are deemed strategically relevant, two key tactical-level questions arise: (1) Which type of symbiotic collaboration policy should be implemented, centralized or decentralized? (2) How does the storability of byproducts impact the overall performance of the participating companies under each collaboration policy? This paper proposes a framework for conducting a detailed analysis, at the tactical production planning level, of four possible IS collaboration configurations involving two manufacturing companies. Each configuration results from combining a specific collaboration policy with the consideration of whether the exchanged byproduct is storable or non-storable. A Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model is subsequently developed to rigorously evaluate the benefits of each configuration, both at the individual company level and at the collective level. Extensive numerical experiments and sensitivity analyses are performed to provide comprehensive insights into the trade-offs and synergies associated with the different IS configurations. The findings reveal that the proposed framework can serve as a valuable decision-support tool for companies seeking to engage in IS collaborations, to guide their choice of collaboration policy. The results indicate that centralized collaboration policies are more effective under medium to high byproduct generation rates, particularly when the generator’s average demand exceeds that of the user. Conversely, under low byproduct generation rates, decentralized collaboration is sufficient to capture the symbiotic benefits. The limitations of the current framework and future research avenues are discussed.}},
