In a world of growing resource constraints the effective management of material flows throughout the material life cycle is essential. With the growth of Zero Waste thinking, where we strive to eliminate waste, close material loops and integrate all parts of raw material and product cycles, integrated systems thinking is essential. By understanding how different parts of our economy interact we can create integrated loops between raw materials, production systems, the energy system, the water system and transport systems to derive a low carbon society with a strong emphasis on economic resilience and societal benefit.
