Special Feature on Industrial Symbiosis - downloadable articles

[Program on Solid Waste Policy <pswp@yale.edu>]

Dear colleagues,

The Journal of Industrial Ecology is pleased to announce a special
feature on industrial symbiosis in the recently released issue.  The
feature contains 4 cutting edge articles on industrial symbiosis --
environmentally beneficial exchanges of materials, energy, water, and
by-products among diversified, geographically-clustered firms  --
available for free download at <

www.mitpressjournals.org/toc/jiec/11/1>.

The articles include:

• "Uncovering" Industrial Symbiosis by Marian Chertow
• Industrial Symbiosis in China: A Case Study of the Guitang Group  by Zhu, LoweWei, and Barnes
• A Spatial Analysis of Loop Closing Among Recycling, Remanufacturing, and Waste Treatment Firms in Texas by Lyons
• Industrial Symbiosis in the Australian Minerals Industry: The Cases of Kwinana and Gladstone by van Beers, Corder, Bossilkov and van Berkel

Industrial symbiosis, and the related notions of eco-industrial
development, industrial ecosystems and eco-industrial parks, are one of
the signature concepts in the field of industrial ecology.  This
special feature is designed to highlight the latest work in this growing
area.

Sincerely,
Reid Lifset
