Rencontre du troisième type... d'écosystème ou quand l'écologie devient industrielle

Innovations, 2003, vol. 18, issue 2, 43-57

Abstract: Even if it gets old intellectual roots, Industrial Ecology is a movement of ideas which has known an institutionalization for about ten years. Its main aim is to get out the debate "Economics versus Ecology" with the help of the lessons of ecological models and metaphors. Firstly, we put back this movement in the context of the contemporary debate about sustainable development. Secondly, we present the main methods applied by Industrial Ecology and its strategy to win business as usual?s favour. We finish our critical analysis by wondering about some oversights or very unclear aspects of Industrial Ecology, whose ideological meaning are evident.
