Waste input-output analysis: concepts and application to industrial ecology

The increasing use of input-output analysis (IOA) in Industrial Ecology (IE) for life-cycle assessment (LCA), material flow analysis (MFA), and life-cycle costing (LCC) calls for a self-contained book on IOA that can meet the needs of practitioners without compromising on basic concepts and latest developments. “Waste Input-Output Analysis” addresses these needs. The standard IOA has the weakness that it does not consider the physical flows of waste and the activity of waste management. To cope with this problem, the authors have developedthe Waste Input-Output model (WIO) which addresses these issues explicitly. Self-contained and up-to-date for application to Industrial Ecology Written by leading scholars in the field Provides in-depth input-output analysis of wastemanagement, hybrid LCA and LCC, IOA-based Material Flow Analysis involving many materials at a time, and microeconomic foundations of IOA INDICE: 1. Introduction.- Part I: Input-Output Analysis. 2. Basics of Input-Output Analysis. 3. Extensions of IOA. 4. Microeconomic Foundations.- Part II: Waste Input-Output Analysis. 5. Basics of WIO. 6. WIO Analysis. 7. Application of WIO to Industrial Ecology.- Index.
