Additionally, in borrowing ideas from the industrial ecology concept, Allen and Shonnard advocate the relatively new approach of identifying uses for chemical byproducts in industries that extend further beyond chemical manufacturing. Acknowledging that the principle of identifying productive uses for byproducts...

Consumers may learn about environmental impacts from eco-labels, self-declaration, and life cycle assessment studies. Industrial engineers may learn about clean manufacturing as universities integrate industrial ecology concepts into business and engineering programs (Santi 1997 Stuart 2000). Important clean manufacturing concepts are defined in the next section.
