ABSTRACT
Eco-industrial development presents an archway to a better future. For business, ecoindustrial development offers new avenues for profitable companies. For communities, eco-industrial options lead to more rooted businesses, good jobs and a cleaner environment. For local and global ecosystems, eco-industrialism promises a lighter load on the environment. In some ways, eco-industrialism is the sunny side of the street from doomand-gloom environmental scenarios. It seeks to uplift, not to commiserate; to connect rather than dismantle. Eco-industrialism doesn’t solve all environmental or business challenges but instead deploys a systemic scan at multiple levels to find and re-find best possible solutions.
