History

Robert Frosch

Nicholas Gallopoulos

The September 1989 special issue of the Scientific American that was on "Managing Planet Earth" featured an article, Strategies for Manufacturing, by Robert Frosch and Nicholas Gallopoulos, both then at General Motors. In this article the authors formally proposed the concept of Industrial Ecosystems that functioned as an analogue of the Biological ecosystem (plants synthesize nutrients that feed herbivores, which in turn feed a chain of carnivores whose wastes and bodies eventually feed further generations of plants).

The Industrial Ecology Agenda

Optimizing

the use of resources Closing material loops and minimizing emissions Dematerializing activities Reducing and eliminating the dependence on non-renewable sources of energy

Understanding background of Industrial Ecology Description of what Eco- Industrial park is How these concept can be applied in these area

The Eco-Industrial Park (EIP)

A community of manufacturing and service businesses seeking enhanced environmental and economic performance through collaborating in the management of environmental and resource issues. The interactions among companies resemble the dynamics of a natural ecosystem where all materials are continually recycled. Industrial Park: restricted meaning in terms of geography and ownership. An EIP is a relate estate property that must be managed to bring a competitive advantage to its owners. An EIP is a community of companies that must manage itself to provide benefits for its members. Decisions are based on maximizing the profitability of the EIP as a whole Transfer prices negotiated so each member will be as profitable as without the EIP
