1997 International Symposium on Technology and Society Technology and Society at a Time of Sweeping Change. Proceedings, 2002
The linear, open system of industrial development-'produce/use/throw away'-is unsustainable even if it is restricted to the existing industrialised countries. If an attempt is made to spread it globally, it would not only be environmentally disastrous, it would also have severe economic and social consequences.

The use of fossil energy is one of the major environmental problems associated with tourism and travel. Consequently, the need to limit fossil energy use has been highlighted as a precondition for achieving sustainable tourism development. However, tourism is also one of the most important sectors of the world economy, and fears have thus been ...

Publication of the Eco-efficiency Handbook in 2004 Eco-efficiency Project in Japan
2005 4th International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing, 2006In Japan, some leading industries and companies have started to apply the eco-efficiency concept in their management, decision-making and/or communication tools with stakeholders. Although still experimental, the eco-efficiency increasingly gains recognition as effective concept at the sectoral /corporate level and at a product level. In this paper, we

Just-in-Time Production and Eco-efficiency
2022Eco-efficiency is a sound and meaningful concept to every business considering a step into the future. On the one side, it shows the pathway for providing what all companies strive for, i.e., effective and progressively delivering more value. On the other side, it considers doing so in a constrained world, where climate change, use of nature, and ...
