Industry
It is a collective term for branches of productive labor.
Ecology
It is the branch of biology that deals with the mutual relations between organisms and their environment.
Industrial ecology
It is a branch of systems science for sustainability, or a framework for designing and operating industrial systems as sustainable and interdependent with natural systems.
Industrial ecology
It is the balance of industrial production and economic performance with an emerging understanding of local and global ecological constraints.
Ecology
It implies more the webs of natural forces and organisms, their competition and cooperation, and how they live off one another.
Industrial ecologist
He or she is an expert who integrates and balances the environmental, business, and economic development interests of the industrial systems.
To reduce throughput of all kinds of materials and fuels, whether they leave a site as products, emissions, or waste
What is the objective of industrial ecology?
The establishment of an industrial system that recycles virtually all of the materials, and uses and releases a minimal amount of waste to the environment (Type III Industrial System)
What is the goal of industrial ecology?
Type I
Type II
Type III
Enumerate the three types involved in the development path of industrial systems.
Type II
DEVELOPMENTAL PATH OF INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS. Determine what type is being described below.
It is the transitional stage where resource recovery becomes more integral to the workings of the industrial systems, but does not satisfy its requirements for resources.
Type II
DEVELOPMENTAL PATH OF INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS. Determine what type is being described below.
Manufacturing and environmental processes are integrated at least partially.
Type I
DEVELOPMENTAL PATH OF INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS. Determine what type is being described below.
It is a once-flow through system with rudimentary end-of-pipe pollution controls.
Type III
DEVELOPMENTAL PATH OF INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS. Determine what type is being described below.
It is the final ideal stage in which the industrial systems recycle all of the material outputs of production, although still relying on external energy inputs.
Type I
DEVELOPMENTAL PATH OF INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS. Determine what type is being described below.
It is the initial stage requiring a high throughput of energy and materials to function and exhibit little or no resource recovery.
Type III
DEVELOPMENTAL PATH OF INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS. Determine what type is being described below.
It is almost self-sustaining.
Application of systems science to industrial systems
Defining the system boundary to incorporate the natural world
Seeking to optimize that system
Enumerate the three (3) steps involved in the industrial ecology approach.
Industrial ecology
It provides a foundation for sustainable industrialization.
READ.
Industrial ecology is applied to the management of human activity on a sustainable basis by:
Minimizing energy and materials usage
Ensuring acceptable quality of life for people
Minimizing the ecological impact of human activity to levels natural systems can sustain
Conserving and restoring ecosystem health and maintaining biodiversity
Maintaining the economic viability of systems for industry, trade, and commerce
Coordinating design over the life cycle of products and processes
Enabling creation of short-term innovations with awareness of their long-term impacts

Zero emission
It is promoted by governments and the automobile industry in the context of energy systems, particularly in relation to the use of hydrogen as an energy source.
Zero discharge
It is the total recycling of water and wastewater within an industrial system, and elimination of any discharge of toxic substances.
Design for environment
It is the application of a systematic approach to all potential environmental implications of a product or process being designed.
