However, ways of generating and exchanging environmental information differ within and between companies. Moreover, the use of highly sophisticated environmental information systems can still be seen at in its infancy. The aim of this chapter is thus to investigate the application of environmental information systems especially for recycling activities. An empirical analysis of those barriers and obstacles which inhibit the implementation of environmental information systems is thus carried out. Furthermore, basic conditions for the interorganisational exchange of environmental information are investigated. Beside this empirical investigation the eco-industrial cluster Mödling will be analyzed as a case study. Within this company network, the potential for recycling activities for various waste streams such as plastics and construction waste is obvious. However, regarding informational aspects, the awareness of the usefulness of environmental information systems for the companies is still lacking. Thus, practical implication of such systems is still in its early stages.Text/Conference Paper
