| Abstract: | 'Industrial ecology' is one of the most influential perspectives to have emerged in recent years in the wider discourse on 'sustainable development'. The vast majority of industrial ecologists believe that past economic development was characterized by a linear system of extraction, use and disposal. One of their main goals is therefore to find ways to make modern industrial economies mimic ecosystems by transforming the waste of one firm into the valuable input of another. |
