Abstract
The birth of industrial ecology is commonly attributed to an article devoted to industrial ecosystems, written by Frosch and Gallopoulos, which appeared in a 1989 special issue of Scientific American But the field's fundamentals appeared much earlier. Industrial Ecology emerged out of several ideas and concepts, some of which date back to the 19th century. The term "Industrial Ecology" has been used along - side "Industrial Symbiosis" since the 1940s. Economic geography was perhaps one of the first fields to use these terms. One of the oldest appearances of the term is found in a 1947 article by George T. Renner, who refers to "The General Principle of Industrial Location" as a "Law of Industrial Ecology" Briefly stated this is: "Any industry tends to locate at a point which provides optimum access to its ingredients or component elements. If all these component elements be juxtaposed, the location of the industry is predetermined. If, however, they occur widely separated, the industry is so located as to be most accessible to that element which would be the most expensive or difficult to transport and which therefore becomes the locative factor for the industry in question. In the same article we define and describe industrial symbiosis: "Often the location of an industry cannot be fully understood solely in terms of its locative ingredient elements. There are relationships between industries, sometimes simple, but often quite complex, which enter into and complicate "Symbiosis, when scrutinized, is seen to be of two kinds, disjunctive and conjunctive.
