It is difficult to assess such a criticized, contested, and mediatized concept, and yet its definition is now found in all school and university textbooks. Many students do not hesitate to define it: "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts: the concept of 'needs', in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs" [1]. While Brundtland highlighted the need to integrate the ecological, social, and economic dimensions of development, it also benefited from attention from states, particularly during the 20 th anniversary of the Stockholm Conference (1972) in Rio de Janeiro (1992). This 1992 Earth Summit restored some vigour to several of the Brundtland report's recommendations [2]. In 2007, in a book entitled "Handbook of Sustainable Development", Altinkson, et al. [3] proposed revisiting the concept of sustainable development popularized by the Brundtland Report, in order to identify its implications "for the conduct of public policy and human nature". In 2014, in the second edition of their book, the authors considered that the concept remained "extremely useful" (2014, p. xxvii), while stressing that it was in competition with other concepts such as the circular economy, the green economy, ecosystem services, resilience, etc.

Le travail en question, XVIIIe-XXe siècles

Des fondements qu'il était convenu de rattacher à la loi de nature. Chaque homme a ainsi la tâche de se préserver et de faire le maximum pour préserver le reste de l'humanité. Ces prémisses étant posées, Locke peut nous proposer une théorie originale des droits de propriété. Le fondement des droits de propriété réside dans le travail. C'est en effet le travail qui soustrait les biens communs à l'indivision et qui établit le droit de propriété. Locke ira jusqu'à considérer que le travail crée la valeur, reprenant à son actif, la distinction entre valeur d'usage et valeur d'échange. Si le travail et les droits de propriété sont à l'origine de la société économique, ils ne sont toutefois pas suffisants pour assurer sa préservation et sa stabilité. La croissance de la population et l'usage de la monnaie déstabilisent cette quiétude existentielle. Seule une délégation des pouvoirs politiques et judiciaires à un institution, le gouvernement, permettrait de préserver et de réguler la propriété.

Depuis ses premiers travaux économiques, jusqu'à ses plus récents, Georgescù-Roegen (1935, 1986 n'a cessé de s'interroger sur cette notion centrale et sur les représentations analytiques que les économistes peuvent en donner. Ce " disenchanted neoclassical economist" comme aime à se qualifier Georgescù-Roegen (1992, p 133), s'est d'abord attaqué aux concepts proposés par l'économie standard. Sa critique de la fonction de production neoclassique ne porte pas tant sur la représentation de l'entreprise qu'elle induit -ce que l'on peut désigner comme une " firme point " pour reprendre l'expression de Benjamin Coriat et Olivier Weinstein (1995, p 14)que sur la représentation de la production proprement dite qu'elle sous-entend. Même si on présente habituellement la production comme une relation technique, elle ne décrit finalement aucune réalité physique.

Industrial complexes should be designed to resemble natural ecosystems in order to use energy, water, and material resources optimally while at the same time minimizing wastes. As a part of industrial ecology, the study and promotion of industrial symbiosis have gained increasing attention. Building on the notion of biological symbiotic relationships in nature, industrial symbiosis consists of place-based exchanges among different entities. Chertow has defined industrial symbiosis as " engaging traditionally separate industries in a collective approach to competitive advantage involving physical exchanges of materials, energy, water and/or by products. The keys to industrial symbiosis are collaboration and the synergistic possibilities offered by geographic proximity " (2004, p. 2; 2007, p. 12). Christensen considers that industrial symbiosis " is a collaboration between different industries for mutual economic and environmental benefits " (2006, p. 3). By working together, business strive for a collective benefit is greater than the sum of individual benefits that could be achieved from acting alone. This kind of collaboration can improve social relationships among the participants, which can also extend to surrounding neighbourhoods. Progress toward developing programs of industrial symbiosis is significantly influenced by a number of factors, including the nature of a company's operations, the industry history of the region, the extent of peer pressure, the positioning if a coordinating body in the region, and the company's approach to awareness-raising and recruitment. The term " industrial symbiosis " was actually coined to describe a group of interconnected industries in the Danish town of Kalundborg (Ehrenfeld, Gertler, 1997) that saw a network of by product exchanges and other forms of collaboration evolve spontaneously over three decades (Chertow, Ehrenfeld, 2001). In general, three primary opportunities for resource exchange are considered: (1) by-product reuse, (2) utility/infrastructure sharing, (3) joint provision of services. Our paper will seek to learn from the experiences of industrial symbiosis. It is divided into three parts. In the first part, we will present the different processes, which can play a role in the conceptualization of industrial symbiosis (Boons, 2011), particularly the industrial symbiosis of Kalundborg. In the second part, we will highlight the key factors of success and failure of the industrial symbiosis. We will show that two levels are involved in industrial symbiosis, the regional level of industrial system and societal level (institutional and organizational mechanisms: routines, distribution of the symbiotic relationship). In the third part, we will introduce few experiences of industrial symbiosis to understand if it easy to use the example of Kalundborg as a model for industrial symbiosis initiatives at other locations. We will present the industrial symbiosis of Guitang Group, which has developed a complex system of interactions in many activities (sugar, paper, cement, fertilizer).
