The growing interest in recent years in the new science of industrial ecology(IE) and the idea that industrial systems should mimic the quasi-cyclical functions of natural ecosystems in an ‘industrial food chain’ hold promise in addressing not only short-term environmental problems but also the long-term holistic evolution of industrial systems.
This book sets out to address the theoretical considerations that should be made implicit in future research as well as practical implementation options for industry.
