Bøger i Eco-Efficiency in Industry and Science serien

A central asset of eco-efficiency analysis is that it does not depend on a specific evaluation of environmental impacts against economic effects. Several evaluation methods may be used, including those based on willingness-to-pay, panel procedures, and public statements on policy goals.

Features selected papers on environmental management accounting (EMA) which has been developed by the Environmental Management Accounting Network - Europe (EMAN-Eu). This book covers subjects that range from individual company experiences with implementing EMA to national experiences regarding the adoption and diffusion of EMA practices.

This volume's focus on the environmental accounting of supply chain processes is of particular relevance because these processes supply data about the environmental impact of relationships between business organisations, an area where the boundary separating internal and external accounting is ill-defined.

Environmental policy has long been determined by a dichotomy between technology and behavior. It is the first volume that aims to create a conceptual basis for analyzing interactions between technology and behavior, and to provide insights that are relevant to technology design and environmental policy.

The Innovation Triangle allows one to diagnose current environmental and innovation policies, indicating which policy measures might be effective in increasing the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies, allowing environmental objectives to be achieved.

This is the fourth in a series publishing the best contributions on environmental management accounting (EMA) from around the world. This is the most comprehensive volume to date covering theory, practice and case studies on sustainability accounting and reporting.

Industrial ecology (IE) is a rapidly growing scienti?c discipline that is concerned with the sustainability of industrial systems under explicit consideration of its int- dependence with natural systems.

In order for a corporation to become environmentally, socially and economically sustainable, it has to know how. This book offers companies accounting and management tools to make the best decisions for cleaner production and sustainability.

Factor X: Re-source-Designing the Recycling Society explores the role of recycling in efforts to achieve the sustainable world envisioned in the Federal Environment Ministry's Resource Efficiency Programme, known as ProgRess.

Contains a selection of papers on environmental management accounting (EMA) which has been developed for Kluwer by the Environmental Management Accounting Network - Europe (EMAN-Eu). The papers in this book provide several examples of how EMA can be applied in practice both in large corporations and in small and medium-sized enterprises.

The second book of selected papers on environmental management accounting (EMA) which has been developed for Kluwer by the Environmental Management Accounting Network - Europe (EMAN-Eu), drawn primarily from papers presented at EMAN-Eu, to bring together several examples of leading thinking and practice internationally in this developing area.

Brings together examples of leading thinking and international practice in the rapidly developing area of environmental management accounting (EMA). This book covers subjects ranging from individual company experiences with implementing EMA to national experiences regarding the adoption and diffusion of EMA practices.

A concluding chapter discusses the role of partnership and leadership in realizing various levels of environmental innovations: optimization and re-design, that usually affect only a small part of the production/consumption structure, and much more complicated, radical innovations that have to deal with societal (sub)systems.

The ECOMAC project (Eco-management Accounting as a Tool of Environmental Man agement) has provided a framework for linking environmental management with man agement accounting.

Metals have been vital to human civilization for many thousands of years. This book assembles experts from many fields to discuss the conditions and limits of sustainable metals management. The contributors examine the theoretical ideas and goals of sustainability, and apply them across the metal making and trading process.

This guide details for companies and organizations how to install an environment and material flow-related information system that jibes with their current accounting system. It includes several case studies and offers specific recommendations.

In order for a corporation to become environmentally, socially and economically sustainable, it has to know how. This book offers companies accounting and management tools to make the best decisions for cleaner production and sustainability.

To provide benefit to broader society, the Network stimulates public dialogue and brings together academic researchers from many disciplines with other stakeholders who traditionally do not work together in coalitions.

This volume addresses the environmental impacts and management of computers through a set of analyses on issues ranging from environmental assessment, technologies for recycling, consumer behaviour, strategies of computer manufacturing firms, and government policies.

Various economic models of material-product chains are studied, both theoretical and applied, such as static optimisation, dynamic simulation and general equilibrium models.

Life Cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool for environmental decision-support in relation to products from the cradle to the grave. Until now, more emphasis has been put on the inclusion quantitative models and databases and on the design of guidebooks for applying LCA than on the integrative aspect of combining these models and data.

Industrial Ecology (IE) is a multidisciplinary field. IE deals with stocks and flows in interconnected networks of industry and the environment, which relies on a basic framework for analysis. This title embraces both advanced theory and principles as well as practical applications of IE.

Industrial Ecology (IE) deals with stocks and flows in interconnected networks of industry and the environment, which relies on a basic framework for analysis. Among others, Input-Output Analysis (IOA) is recognized as a key conceptual and analytical framework for IE.

This book does not give a prediction of what the efficiency will be of the energy use of industrial processes in the future. This lead to the question whether there are limits to the efficiency, taking into account both thermodynamic considerations and ideas on the development and dissemination of new technologies.

Besides discussing environmental accounting issues within conventional management accounting, it gives a detailed picture of materials flow (cost) accounting as an alternative way of looking at the ecology-economy relationships at the corporate level.
