| Abstract: | The choice of new technology in a resource-based industry has farreaching implications for its ethical performance. The kraft pulping industry uses considerable amounts of wood as raw material, and regulatory agencies have been tightening their control limits for effluent, solid waste and air emissions. The technological solutions required to reduce the environmental impact of the industry are shown to have the potential of causing social hardship for the mill's employees, the affected communities, lenders, and owners. This paper analyzes the interface between environmental protection, ethics, and choice of technology. |
