Companies incorporating industrial symbiosis in their business models (ISBMs) play important roles in the realization of IS solutions. This paper explores how this group can also influence contextual conditions for the wider adoption of these solutions, thus contributing to their mainstreaming. Through a multiple case study of development processes connected to a diverse set of ISBM companies, three types of mechanisms were abductively synthesized: business model innovation, contribution to emergent societal change, and institutional entrepreneuring. These suggest that ISBM companies as a group, under the right conditions, play an important role in mainstreaming IS within companies, across industrial systems, and at the societal level. Our study found evidence of early steps in these directions. The paper contributes to the limited empirical foundation on companies with an ISBM and proposes new mainstreaming mechanisms for IS linked to the emergence of actors with IS as a core concern rather than a side activity.

具有工业共生商业模式的公司如何为工业共生的主流化做出贡献

将工业共生纳入其商业模式 （ISBM） 的公司在实现 IS 解决方案方面发挥着重要作用。本文探讨了该群体如何影响更广泛采用这些解决方案的环境条件，从而促进其主流化。通过对与各种 ISBM 公司相关的开发过程的多个案例研究，归纳综合了三种类型的机制：商业模式创新、对新兴社会变革的贡献和制度创业。这些表明，ISBM 公司作为一个群体，在适当的条件下，在公司内部、工业系统和社会层面将 IS 主流化方面发挥着重要作用。我们的研究发现了朝着这些方向迈出早期步伐的证据。本文为拥有 ISBM 的公司的有限实证基础做出了贡献，并提出了与 IS 作为核心关注点而不是次要活动的行为者的出现相关的 IS 的新主流化机制。
