Abstract

Preliminary engineering design tools for assessing, improving, and integrating the environmental performance of chemical processes and products are beginning to emerge. Chemical engineers can and should play a key role in the development of this next generation of design tools, which will help to create more energy-efficient, mass-efficient, and intricately networked industrial processes - an industrial ecology.
