| '''Industrial ecology''' sees [[waste as a resource]]. It was first proposed in 1989 in Scientific American by [[w:Robert Frosch]]. Frosch vision was "why would not our industrial system behave like an [[w:ecosystem|ecosystem]], where the wastes of a species may be [[w:natural resource|resource]] to another species ? Why would not the outputs of an industry be the inputs of another, thus reducing use of raw materials, pollution, and saving on [[waste]] treatment ?" | | '''Industrial ecology''' was proposed in 1989 in Scientific American by Robert Frosch.

| Industrial ecology proposes not to see industrial systems ((e.g. a plant, an [[w:ecoregion]], or national or global economy) as being separate from the [[w:biosphere]], but to consider it as a particular case of an [[w:ecosystem]] - but based on [[w:infrastructural capital]] rather than on [[w:natural capital]]. | | Industrial ecology proposes not to see industrial systems ((e.g. a plant, an [[w:ecoregion]], or national or global economy) as being separate from the [[w:biosphere]], but to consider it as a particular case of [[w:ecosystem]]. |

| Along with more general [[energy conservation]] and [[material conservation]] goals, and redefining [[w:commodity markets]] and [[w:product stewardship]] relations strictly as a [[service economy]], industrial ecology is one of the four objectives of [[Natural Capitalism]]. This strategy discourages forms of [[amoral purchasing]] arising from ignorance of what goes on at a distance and implies a [[political economy]] that values [[natural capital]] highly and relies on more [[instructional capital]] to design and maintain each unique industrial ecology.
