Challenges of Industrial Ecology in the Manufacturing Sector
摘要
Industrial ecology is a comprehensive approach to promoting sustainable industrial growth. It emphasizes the efficient use of materials and energy within industrial processes. The objective is to emulate industrial systems based on natural ecosystems, in which waste from one process is transformed into input for another, resulting in minimal waste and optimal resource utilization. Although industrial ecology can substantially contribute to sustainability, it encounters several obstacles. This analysis delves into the difficulties, supported by theoretical and practical perspectives.
