Abstract: Following the development of Industrial Ecology (IE)and the widespread promotion of Circular Economy (CE), Eco-industrial Parks(EIPs)have been rapidly developed throughout the world and become a new industrial paradigm of 2lth century. An EIP is a district where enterprises are organized according to industrial symbiosis and Circular Economy. It aims to optimize the integrated benefits of environment, economics and society in the park. With the exchange of all kinds of flows including materials,energy and information etc., eco-industrial park forms a mutually beneficial network. Through the infrastructure and information share, members of EIP can realize energy cascading and material recycle. EIP is considered to be an important approach to sustainable development. Nowadays, EIP is undergoing a fast development in many countries. In China EIP has rapidly been developed since the late 1990s. Up to the present 15 national EIPs have been approved and about 100 EIPs on local levels have been planned or built. It is important for China to research on the practices of EIP and use the experiences of successful cases for reference, which makes great significance to the development of EIP and regional economy. The development models embody the features and differences of EIPs in some measures. Basing on summarizing and classifying the types of EIPs, analyzing and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of typical EIPs, and then combining the conclusions with the practice of EIPs in China, this paper gives some references to the diverse development of EIPs in the whole country and choices of appropriate development models of EIPs in different regions.
