The linear economy (LE) system, utilized since the beginning of the industrial era, has demon strated its incapacity to fulfill the goals of sustainable development [4]. The linear production process, characterized by raw material extraction, production, consumption, and disposal, accelerated by economic growth, has led to increased waste production and resource consump tion [1, 8]. This process put a significant pressure on the Earth system’s global balance. The planetary boundaries concept provides a crucial scientific tool for measuring this massive an thropogenic effect. Presently, six out of the nine planetary boundaries have been exceeded, indicating that the Earth system is no longer in a state of safe and just development for humanity [10]. To address the challenges posed by the LE footprint, a transition became imperative, giving rise to the concept of Circular Economy (CE) [5]. According to the Quebec circular economy consultation center, CE is a "system of production, exchange and consumption aimed at opti mizing the use of resources at all stages of the life cycle of a good or service, in a circular logic, while reducing the environmental footprint and contributing to the well-being of individuals and communities". Materials and used products are reintroduced into the production and us age cycle as much as possible. Hence as stated by the European Commission (EC), in a circular economy, products and materials retain value for as long as possible, thereby minimizing waste and resources consumed. Reuse and upcycling loops throughout a product’s life cycle bring economic benefits, fostering innovation and job creation.[6]. Among the seven pillars of the CE, industrial ecology ,(IE) is a practice aiming to minimize industrial environmental impacts. For this, IE is based on exchanges and pooling of flows, ma terials or services between industries through industrial symbioses (IS) [2]. Industrial symbiosis involves collaboration networks between companies, focused on exchanging flows of materials, energy, and knowledge to enhance their environmental and economic performance [9]. Industrial symbioses are not easy to set up or operate. Thence, their study is a research area that has been increasingly studied in recent years (since the 2000s) to understand their evolution and their functioning in order to promote them, facilitate them and make them sustainable [2]. In this context, this article provides a state-of-the-art overview on the various works carried out in this domain, and focuses particularly on diverse approaches to modeling industrial symbiosis. Our objective is to highlight gaps in this area and suggest prospects for future research
