Other journals with substantial industrial ecology content are Resources,
Conservation, and Recycling (fi rst issue 1988), and the Journal of Cleaner
Production (fi rst issue 1993). Industrial ecology research and assessments have
appeared as well in many additional journals, including Ecological Economics (e.g.,
Bringezu et al. 200 4 ), Environmental Science & Technology (e.g., Graedel 2000 ),
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the U.S. (e.g., Rauch 2009 ),
Nature (e.g., Lenzen et al. 2012 ), and Science (Reck and Graedel 2012 ). It is clear
that there is no longer a shortage of places for industrial ecology papers to be published or a lack of editors willing to accept them if they are of satisfactory quality.
4.3 The International Society for Industrial Ecology
By the late 1990s, it was apparent that the fi eld of industrial ecology needed to organize itself into a professional society. The issue was discussed in detail in a meeting
hosted by Jesse Ausubel at the New York Academy of Sciences in 2000. Once
again, support was provided by the AT&T Foundation. Based on the consensus of
the international group, the International Society for Industrial Ecology was
launched a year later with the Journal of Industrial Ecology as its offi cial journal.
The Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies agreed to serve as the temporary international secretariat for the ISIE. As the society and the industrial ecology
community grew, the ISIE created sections focused on industrial symbiosis/ecoindustrial development, socioeconomic metabolism, life-cycle sustainability assessment, organizing sustainable consumption and production, sustainable urban
systems , and environmentally extended input–output analysis. More intangibly, but
perhaps more importantly, the ISIE provides continuity, an opportunity for interaction and, along with the JIE , academic legitimation for those seeking to work in
industrial ecology.
4.4 Courses and Textbooks
As with any scholarly fi eld, training the next generation is important, and doing so
requires pedagogical materials. Aside from scholarly journal articles, several textbooks have been produced for use in industrial ecology-related programs in various
academic fi elds. They include Industrial Ecology (Graedel and Allenby 1995
[Japanese translation, 1996]); 2nd edition, 2003 [Korean translation, 2004; Chinese
translation, 2005; Russian translation, 2006]), Green Engineering: Environmentally
Conscious Design of Chemical Processes (Allen and Shonnard 2002 ), Applied
Industrial Ecology: A New Platform for Planning Sustainable Societies (Erkman
and Ramaswamy 2003 ), Industrial Ecology: konzeptionelle Grundlagen, zentrale
Handlungsfelder, Kernwerkzeuge und erfolgreiche Praxisbeispiele (Isenmann and
von Hauff 2007 ), Industrial Ecology Management: Nachhaltige Entwicklung durch
