Abstract
This paper is an overview of the field of industrial ecology, which notes a significant contribution to research and applied developments, leading to the position at which it is now. A short overview of the term is given, and scholars and practitioners who helped defining this field as an important contribution to the efforts on environment protection and management are discussed. Industrial ecology takes energy from various sources, and the concepts that enriched this field and made it attractive have to be analyzed. This discussion sheds light at certain aspects that constitute the field of industrial ecology’s competence and how it looks today. The paper contains the main characteristics of industrial ecological studies, which should be observed and evaluated in order to implement the methods for a constructive analysis and criticism of these characteristics in the future. The historical approach to development of industrial ecology helps understanding the dynamic formation of the field, which still consists of participants and ideas that are rooted in various disciplines, including almost all fields of natural and technical sciences, and certain fields of social sciences. Understanding of its historical development means that the concepts that lie in the basis of industrial ecology and the components of its competencies could be evaluated from the point of view of their substantiation (Glotko et al. in Journal of Environmental Management and Tourism 10, 3(35): 613–621 2019).
