System Dynamics and Modeling

System Dynamics and Modeling, within Industrial Ecology, is a method used to understand complex interactions between industries, the environment, and society. It involves creating simulations to visualize how materials and energy flow through systems, helping to identify patterns, feedback loops, and potential outcomes. By modeling these relationships, we can explore the impacts of various decisions on sustainability, resource use, and environmental health. This approach aids policymakers and businesses in making informed choices that promote a balanced coexistence between industrial activities and ecological conservation.
