This paper proposes new performance indicators for industrial symbiosis networks (ISNs) based on the ecosystem approach. ISNs are framed as ecosystems where the firms correspond to the organisms and perform specific functions, i.e., recovering wastes and saving inputs. Two kinds of indicators are designed: 1) indicators assessing the performance of each waste exchange; 2) indicators assessing how each firm is contributing to these exchanges. The designed indicators can be useful in backing up decision-making tools for ISNs
