'''Industrial ecology''' | '''Industrial ecology''' was 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 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 an [[w:ecosystem]] - but based on [[w:infrastructural capital]] rather than on [[w:natural capital]]. | ||
