Pollution is a complex equation, compounded by population, rate of consumption, and toxic emissions per unit of resource consumed. This article defines industrial ecology as a management science that focuses a corporation's expertise on the third variable. Thus, industrial ecology is involved with changing the efficiency of machines, not just changing the law or a firm's compliance strategy. This article also explores how this emphasis allows a profoundly different orientation than the end-of-the-pipe regulatory approach of the last 20 yr.
污染是一个复杂的问题，受人口、消费率以及单位资源消耗所产生的有毒排放量等因素影响。本文将产业生态学定义为一门管理科学，它将企业的专业知识聚焦于第三个变量。因此，产业生态学致力于提高机器的效率，而不仅仅是改变法律或企业的合规策略。本文还探讨了这种侧重点如何带来与过去20年终端治理监管方法截然不同的方向。
