About ISIE

ISIE

Join the International Society for Industrial Ecology.

The International Society for Industrial Ecology (ISIE) promotes industrial ecology as a way of finding innovative solutions to complicated sustainability problems, and facilitates communication among scientists, engineers, policymakers, managers and advocates who are interested in better integrating sustainability concerns with economic activities.

The mission of the ISIE is to promote the use of industrial ecology in research, education, policy, community development, and industrial practices. In order to accomplish this mission, the ISIE seeks to build a community of interest, support cumulative learning, produce high quality research, and promote social change.

The ISIE has a growing membership of over 1,000 members, spread over all continents. Within the ISIE, various Sections organize events and provide resources focused on key methods and approaches, including Socio-Economic Metabolism, Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment, Environmentally Extended Input Output, Industrial Symbiosis and Eco-industrial Development, Sustainable Urban Systems, Island Industrial Ecology, Sustainable Circular Economy and Students. The Student Section supports students and early career researchers through scholarships and tailored events.

The ISIE holds various regular events, including its International Conference as well as numerous regional conferences. The members curate a YouTube channel, among other resources, such as a GitHub Repository for open source tools.
