This book opens up a critical dimension to the field of industrial
ecology. The book discusses the post COVID-19 trends in the field
of industrial ecology and evolving practices adopted by firms for
betterment of environment and society. The authors identify
valuable lessons to be learned and present conceptual frameworks to
guide future industrial ecology applications. Transforming
industrial systems into closed-loop industrial ecosystems
dramatically reduces the negative impact of industrial activities
on the environment. Therefore, this book is important not only for
operation management scholars but also those who are interested in
ensuring an environmentally sustainable future.
