| Industrial
ecology provides a framework for thinking systematically about environmental problems.
It looks at the flow of energy and materials through industrial systems: firms,
industries, or industrial society as a whole. This is key to moving towards industrial
systems that are sustainable.When applying industrial ecology to companies, we
consider environment and technology over the full life-cycle of the service provided. |
When applied to public policy, we examine where
problems may be occurring, and we design policy measures that promote technological
innovation and reduce environmental impacts.
