Improving school lunch menus with multi-objective optimisation
Objective: To support school foods programmes by evaluating the relationship between nutritional quality, cost, student consumption and the environmental impacts of menus. Design: Using linear programming and data from previously served menu items, the relationships between the nutritional quality, cost, student consumption and the environmental impacts of lunch menus were investigated. Optimised lunch menus with the maximum potential student con…
Combining Multiregional Input‐Output Analysis with a World Trade Model for Evaluating Scenarios for Sustainable Use of Global Resources, Part II
The standard multiregional input‐output (MRIO) framework can be combined with the outcomes of analysis using a model of the world economy to calculate footprints and other path‐based results for scenarios about the future. A companion article, entitled “Combining multiregional input‐output analysis with a world trade model for evaluating scenarios for sustainable use of global resources, part I: Conceptual framework,” describes our approach for e…
Combining Multiregional Input‐Output Analysis with a World Trade Model for Evaluating Scenarios for Sustainable Use of Global Resources, Part I
Consumption in a particular country often entails resource extraction, production, and environmental degradation in remote locations. This fact has stimulated a growing body of empirical analysis using input‐output (I‐O) databases and techniques to reveal and quantify the underlying linkages. Two lines of research rooted in I‐O economics, multiregional input‐output (MRIO) analysis and I‐O modeling of the world economy, describe and analyze these …
Embodied Resource Flows and Product Flows
We develop the absorbing Markov chain (AMC) for describing in detail the network of paths through an industrial system taken by an embodied resource from extraction through intermediate products and, finally, consumer products. We refer to this as a resource‐specific network. This work builds on a recent literature in industrial ecology that uses an AMC to quantify the number of times a resource passes through a recycling sector before ending up …
A Dynamic Model for Determining the Temporal Distribution of Environmental Burden
In an article on the role of temporal information in life‐cycle assessment in this journal, Field and colleagues argued that frequently it is not the single product but the “fleet” (or cohort) of products that “is the appropriate unit of analysis,” and that in focusing on the fleet one “explicitly introduces the notion of time as a critical element of comparative life‐cycle assessments. ...” Major transitions, such as replacement of one fleet of …
Comparing Products and Production in Ecological and Industrial Systems
Ecological systems and industrial systems have much in common. Both systems are characterized by flows of material and energy between components, both contain components that use energy to transform materials, and both contain energy‐and material flow‐regulating interactions such as competition and mutualism. These shared traits are reflected in the metaphor “an industrial system is an ecological system” that is central to industrial ecology. At …
Products and Ecological Models
Industrial ecology has used the systems ecology model, with its emphasis on the flows of energy and nutrients, as a tool to find ways to minimize the adverse environmental effects of industrial activity. A second ecosystem model, the population ecology model, emphasizes intra‐and inter‐specific interactions of many types. When applied to industrial systems, it suggests an increased focus on products. It therefore can provide a useful complement t…
Information, Interindustry Dynamics, and the Service Industries
To understand the role of services in the interindustrial system, themes common to explanations in the literature on the increase in prominence of services are explored. Four related themes are suggested by the outcome. Growth in services is associated with increases in the demand for information, in instability, in complexity, and in externalities. These suggest a synthesis of the explanations for subsequent modeling of the role of services by m…
