A chapter in The Roots of Logistics, 2012, pp 363-388 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In the 1970s, with energy crises and the Club of Rome a discussion about the “Limits to Growth” was initiated. Increasingly, the media and politics recognized the necessity of sustainable activity and responsible handling of the non-regenerative resources of our planet. Awareness rose for the need for protection of environment, sustainable management, and a “circular” economy, which systematically considers the “fundamental law of conservation of mass” (cf. Ayres/Kneese (1969), p. 283): Sustainability and the vision of “greening” logistics have since become major issues of practical concern and scientific interest.
