| Abstract: | As an instrument for sustainability (hereafter as: sust-y.) analysis, eco-efficiency (here as: e/e) indicates an empirical relation in economic activities btw. environmental (as: env-al.) cost or value and env-al. impact. Clarifying the why and what of e/e is a first step toward decision support on the aspects of sust-y. With the main analytic framework established, filling in the actual economic and environmental relations requires further choices in modeling. With an established method, the final decision is how to apply it for practical decision making. In getting the details of e/e better specified, its strengths, weaknesses and limitations need to be indicated more clearly. |
