This project investigates the concepts of industrial ecology and eco-industrial parks and applies those concepts to the redesign
of an existing industrial park in Choctaw, OK. The opportunity for developing an eco-industrial park on this site comes from
the availability of waste water for non-potable water needs, and the abundance of waste tires as raw materials for products to
drive a new set of industrial partnerships. These industrial partnerships include the City of Choctaw Waste Water Treatment
Plant, a tire shredding company, a tire pyrolysis company, a hydroponics industry, a hard rubber tire manufacturer, a screen
printer, a plastics manufacturer, a toner manufacturer, and a toner cartridge manufacturer. The nature of this relationship and
the design of the eco-industrial park is contained within this report. The result of this investigation is a new, common sense,
approach to industrial land use that combines economic growth and environmental protection. # 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
