Abstract

The article examines eco-industrial parks (EIPs) as a model for Ukraine’s future development, with a focus on the Lviv region. Using a multidisciplinary approach (literature review, EU- and Asia-based case studies, and quantitative/qualitative analysis of economic and environmental indicators), the study finds that EIPs can reduce CO₂ emissions, improve resource efficiency, and support regional diversification. Based on these findings, the paper presents a set of policy recommendations and implementation actions for green reconstruction, alongside the transition to a circular-economy model.
