- W2171860483 abstract "Abstract Western industrialized societies are inherently unsustainable in their present form because they depend almost exclusively on a finite supply of nonrenewable minerals and fossil fuels. In addition, the resulting wastes cause various environmental problems ranging from widespread ecosystem disruptions to global warming. The most common response to these problems has been to promote technological improvements in eco‐efficiency, which Welford defined as “adding maximum value with minimum resource use and minimum pollution.” Although constructive, improvements in eco‐efficiency alone will not guarantee sustainability of industrialized societies because the limited supplies of nonrenewable minerals cannot be extended indefinitely by recycling and substitution, and a transition to renewable and nuclear energy sources would result in significant negative environmental impacts, particularly if deployed on a large scale. In addition, according to the second law of thermodynamics, industrial production technologies have inherently unavoidable environmental impacts. Finally, any hard‐won improvements in eco‐efficiency will soon be negated if growth in population and consumption is allowed to continue. Consequently, long‐term industrial sustainability can be achieved only through a transition to a steady‐state economy where the total throughput of matter–energy is kept at a constant and sustainable level. This requires not only improvements in eco‐efficiency but also a reassessment of fundamental societal values that erroneously equate material consumption and economic growth with well‐being and happiness. © 2004 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 2004" @default.
