Industrial Symbiosis (InSym) capitalises on the proximity of entities to gain a competitive advantage through collective strategies. Within the Circular Economy, this involves the circular exchange and reuse of water, energy, and resources among participating businesses, enhancing resource valorisation in manufacturing. However, as a distinct business model, InSym requires collaboration among multiple stakeholders working toward a shared goal, posing challenges in achieving mutually beneficial outcomes.

The platform is developed as part of the EU H2020-funded ULTIMATE project. This system initially investigates three case studies focusing respectively on: water and nutrient recovery in greenhouses, pre-treatment of wastewater from olive mills before integration into communal wastewater systems, and value-added compound recovery from wastewater in a juice factory.

Objectives: to establish the prevalence of hospital malnutrition by Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and evaluate the agreement of NS tools and their ability to predict mortality (M), infectious (IC) and non-infectious complications, and prolonged stay (> 11 days).
Methods: a multicenter, prospective, observational study was conducted.
