'''Industrial ecology''' was proposed in 1989 in Scientific American by Robert Frosch. Frosch vision was "why would not our industrial system behave like an [[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 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]].
