Vers une écologie industrielle

Business on December 21st, 2011

Pour avancer vers une économie durable, prélevant moins de ressources naturelles, on ne doit pas raisonner contre la croissance, mais avec elle. La question de la soutenabilité doit être abordée d'une manière dynamique. En partant d'une nouvelle modélisation des flux et des stocks du cycle de la matière, on peut imaginer l'économie de demain.

Moving Towards Industrial Ecology

Business on December 21st, 2011

To build a sustainable economy, consuming fewer natural resources, we need to think in terms of growth, not otherwise. The issue of sustainability should be tackled in a dynamic way. By setting a new model for the lifecycle of materials, we can project what the future's economic model could look like.
