INDUSTRIAL ECOLOGY: A CRITICAL REVIEW
Abstract
Scientists, policy-makers, and the general public are ing increasingly aware of environmental damage associated with large and growing material through put required in modern industrial society. One approach emerging in response to these concerns is called Industrial Ecology (IE). IE signals a shift from "end-of-pipe" pollution control methods towards holistic strategies for prevention and planning of more environmentally sound industrial development. However, the broad umbrella of IE currently houses a diverse group of scholars, consultants, and environmentalists who range in scope from those advocating incremental changes in existing systems, to some promoting a total transformation of industrial activity. This article will present a critical review of the existing . literature on IE. We will introduce and critique IE's primary concepts and analyze weaknesses and "holes" in IE's conceptual framework. We will also discuss the needs and potential for advancing Industrial Ecology concepts and projects in the future.
