- industrial ecology
A field of study and practice that focuses on how industry can be developed
or restructured to reduce environmental burdens throughout the product life
cycle (extraction, production, use, and disposal) and encompasses a variety of
related areas of research and practice, including:
- Material and energy flow studies ("industrial metabolism")
- Dematerialization and decarbonization
- Technological change and the environment
- Llife-cycle planning, design and assessment
- Design for the environment ("eco-design")
- Extended producer responsibility ("product stewardship")
- Eco-industrial parks ("industrial symbiosis")
- Product-oriented environmental policy
- Eco-efficiency
In applying this perspective, companies seek to shift industrial processes
from open loop systems that produce waste materials to closed loop systems where
wastes become inputs for new processes.
