Research on the Industrial Ecology Foundation of Ecological Management
Environmental management can temporarily alleviate the tense relationship between human and natural ecological environment, but it could not fundamentally solve the pollution problem caused by human behavior. So, a new paradigm should be created. The ecological management paradigm meets this need. This paper proves that industrial ecology theory could be the theoretic and practical foundation of ecological management paradigm. Furthermore, it points out that the development of industrial ecology theory is the key for the transition from environmental management to ecological management.
