ABSTRACT
Eco-industrial development, born from the realisation that the places where we work waste too much and unnecessarily pollute the land, air and water, simply stated, demands a better way of working. It challenges the outcast view of industrial development and strives to transform these facilities into safe workplaces for community and employee health. This progressive perspective on economic development is taking shape in communities across the United States and around the world. Eco-industrial Strategies: Unleashing Synergy between Economic Development and the Environment explores the key issues involved in eco-industrial development and identifies the stakeholders and their roles in such projects. In addition, it offers a compendium of eco-industrial development case studies, each written by key players in the case’s development process.
