| Abstract: | Industrial ecology (IE) is an emerging concept from industrial environmental management arising from a provocative ecosystem analogy of recycling or roundput systems. The systems approach in the concept, i.e. to facilitate the emergence of entire industrial systems based on cooperation in waste material and energy utilization between the actors involved in the system, has been applied in only a few case studies. These have been conducted with regional industrial systems. In this paper the ecosystem analogy in IE is extended to include also the three other basic principles or metaphors of system development of ecosystems besides roundput: diversity, locality and gradual change. |
