چکیده
When Frosch and Gallopolous published their seminal article “Strategies for Manufacturing” in 1989, they signaled a central concern with manufacturing in the field of industrial ecology (IE). They and other early pioneers in the field brought an interest in examining how industry could leverage its technological prowess to improve environmental outcomes. In North America, this interest emerged, in part, from the extraordinary

Integration of Life Cycle Inventories Incorporating Manufacturing Unit Processes
Sustainable manufacturing (SM) concerns the manufacture of products with regard to environmental, social, and economic impacts over the entire life cycle. With a primary focus on environmental concerns, life cycle assessment (LCA) can support SM practices. The life cycle inventory (LCI) is a key phase of LCA, and this paper considers the integration of manufacturing unit processes (MUPs) into s...
