Abstract

Traditional approaches to environmental management have focused on individual production units within the firm, and have attempted to minimize energy consumed and waste produced by each unit as a separate entity. Increasingly, however, companies are adhering to the philosophy expounded by industrial ecologists and implementing plans to minimize energy consumption and waste throughout the entire life cycle of a manufactured good—from extraction of virgin materials, through processing of raw materials and energy, to parts fabrication and product assembly, and finally through the use and ultimate disposal of the product (see, for example, O’Rourke et al. (1996); Tibbs (1991); Tibbs (1992); Lowe (1993); Richards et al. (1994); Ayres (1994); Ehrenfeld (1994)).
