The Journal of Industrial Ecology

The Journal of Industrial Ecology is an international, multi-disciplinary bimonthly designed to foster both understanding and practice in the emerging field of industrial ecology. Industrial ecology is a rapidly-growing field that systematically examines local, regional and global materials and energy uses and flows in products, processes, industrial sectors and economies. It focuses on the potential role of industry in reducing environmental burdens throughout the product life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials, to the production of goods, to the use of those goods and to the management of the resulting wastes.
 
The Journal of Industrial Ecology is owned by Yale University, edited at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, and published by Wiley-Blackwell. It is the official journal of the International Society for Industrial Ecology.

Reid Lifset
