What advantage does a heterogeneous catalyst provide over a homogeneous catalyst in industrial processes?

A heterogeneous catalyst is in a different physical phase from the reactants, such as a solid catalyst used with liquid or gas reactants. This makes it easier to separate the catalyst from the reaction mixture and reuse it in industrial processes. Both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts can provide an alternate reaction pathway, so that is not a unique advantage.
