'''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''' was proposed in 1989 in Scientific American by Robert Frosch.
