Industrial Ecology concerns environmental issues associated with industrial systems and industrial products. This includes research on increasing our knowledge of how to reduce the environmental impact of industrial production and products.
A doctoral thesis written by Otto Andersen at Vestlandsforsking discusses the problems and challenges posed by linking transport to industrial ecology.
Vestlandsforsking recently completed the coordination of a large-scale project financed by the European Commission, on strengthening the cooperation between China and Europe on developing environmentally-friendly electronics (www.ecgepro.eu).
