The world is facing an unprecedented challenge in the form of climate change, and the industrial sector is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. To mitigate the impact of industrial activities on the environment, sustainable industrial ecology has emerged as a promising approach. This approach aims to promote sustainable resource use by optimizing industrial processes and minimizing waste generation. Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a crucial role in advancing sustainable industrial ecology by enabling intelligent machines to monitor, analyze, and optimize industrial processes.
Sustainable industrial ecology is a holistic approach that considers the entire life cycle of industrial products, from raw material extraction to disposal.
