While considered a utopian target by some, the concept clearly describes what business and industry of the future must aim to achieve. There is no confusion here; the aim is transparent: no pollution and no waste. Only when industry mimics nature, where nothing is wasted, can it achieve the same levels of material productivity. The world of waste is a world of opportunity. A world where the waste from one process can become the raw material for another--a cascade of new materials once thought worthless supporting new products, new processes and new wealth--as industries that were previously considered unrelated cluster together. A world where new business will be created on an unprecedented scale. This is not just a theory: projects in the agro-business, based on integrated biosystems, are already up and have proved effective. UpSizing examines how the adoption of the Zero Emissions concept not only radically reduces pollution and waste but can contribute significantly to the generation of income and jobs - specifically for those that need them most: the rural poor in less developed countries.

It serves as a guide post for people of all walks of life, including CEOs, entrepreneurs, environmentalist and public servants, who want to act ... Read More Rating: - Breakthrough Ideas Upsizing seems more a visionary work to me than one to read to find out the environmental consequences of human industrialization (See review below). Pauli presents a vision for an economically viable world where there's ZERO pollution, and offers a number of real-world experiments that seem so far to have worked. However, the path he encourages won't be an easy one -- it requires systematically rethinking what industry is, how it works, and how it fits into our world. Upsizing begins to construct an ... Read More Rating: - Sustainable Development Well-Described This is an excellent book for anyone who's interested in the environmental consequences of human industrialization and development. I had never heard of the author or his organization (ZERI: Zero Emissions Research Institute), but it's all described in this book, and it's a fascinating proposition. At first I was a little worried that this book would be a little boring, but it's succinct and well-written. You'll think that the proposals are impossible or unattainable, but the author backs them ...
