In the 1970s, the first wave of environmental regulation targeted
specific sources of pollutants. In the 1990s, concern is focused
not on the ends of pipes or the tops of smokestacks but on sweeping
regional and global issues. This landmark volume explores the new
industrial ecology, an emerging framework for making environmental
factors an integral part of economic and business decision making.
Experts on this new frontier explore concepts and applications,
including: Bringing international law up to par with many national
laws to encourage industrial ecology principles. Integrating
environmental costs into accounting systems. Understanding design
for environment, industrial "metabolism," and sustainable
development and how these concepts will affect the behavior of
industrial and service firms. The volume looks at negative and
positive aspects of technology and addresses treatment of waste as
a raw material. This volume will be important to domestic and
international policymakers, leaders in business and industry,
environmental specialists, and engineers and designers. Table of
