Sustainable pro-ecological industry development based on the concept of green economy consists in changing the business model that takes into account the following issues:
- reduction of production maximizing the quantity and activation of qualitative production,
- minimization of negative externalities, including generation of production waste polluting the environment,
- maximizing the recovery of secondary raw materials, development of recycling,
- implementation of saving and purification systems used for the production of water in a closed circuit,
- transition to renewable energy sources as a source of electricity for production processes,
- taxation of production plants, imposition on the production company of the costs necessary to carry out the reclamation of devastated environment as a secondary effect of the production process,
- improvement of employees motivation instruments to invent, design proecological technological improvements of the production process and development of ecological innovations.
In view of the above, I would like to ask you: What other determinants of sustainable pro-ecological industrial development can be mentioned in addition to the above?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.
I think future products need to be designed Completely with sustainability in mind. What I mean by this is understanding the secondary use or degration of all components And not using materials that can’t be recycled.
I would add the relative de-urbanization. The concentration of populations in big or megacities works against any ecological or pro-ecological developement.

Sustainable pro-ecological industrial development is currently a wish by many intellectuals who have talked about it. Yet unless there are specific actions then this rhetoric & hope for a better ecological future will just fade away.
A lot of scientists have admitted that natural resources have not been managed well & there has been an undue squander of materials & energy combined with sloppy human practices.
As far as I know, no expert denies that ‘natural causes’ contribute to the environmental problem but the other effects (e.g. means of transportation, household, construction, industrial , municipal waste) must be addressed very well.
It is unfortunate that some business people see an environmental concern, by scientists, as only more cost (e.g. in installing scrubbers & filters ) and regulatory interference by governments. There are those who consider calls for green economy as a conspiracy against the progress of their country!
I have trust in that scientists can innovate methods that clean the pollution mess in a short time at a reasonable cost. They only need some financial support to the R &D effort.
What scholars can do, meanwhile, is to design & establish courses to educate the young university students (the future leaders) in an ethical human right that is put aside (the right to live in an unpolluted clean environment). This will place the seeds for a better blooming future, hopefully.
The above discussion inspired me to the following considerations: In my opinion, sustainable pro-ecological economic development should be an important determinant of shaping economic policy. Do you agree with my opinion? For many centuries, the economies of countries and enterprises have developed without knowing or ignoring the principles of sustainable pro-ecological development. On the other hand, in the 21st century the realities have changed, the global warming process is accelerating and if the reforms of pro-ecological changes, development of renewable energy, recycling development, development of environmental protection etc. are not implemented, in the short term the global warming process will become an irreversible process and at the end of the 21st century the planet Earth, humanity and many other forms of life on Earth are threatened by climatic extermination due to the high rise of negative anomalies and climatic cataclysms. Sustainable pro-ecological economic development, now and in the future, can not be ignored further, it can not be considered a myth. Economics must change towards the concept of green economy. The economic policies of states should also change in such a way as to activate for the development of ecological innovations and support the processes of sustainable pro-ecological development.

depending on the rating systems you can determine the ratios and know ur protect sustainable or not like leed ,bream ....etc
