Evaluation and Approach of Industrial Green Development: A Literature Review

Abstract

With the increasing consumption of natural resources and the aggravation of environmental pollution, human beings began to realize that in order to realize the sustainable development of society, we must further examine the relationship between economic development and natural environment. In particular, it is generally believed that human activities have had a negative impact on global climate in the past hundred years, making the global warming trend increasingly obvious. If mankind wants to ease the contradiction between himself and the natural environment, we must go from the opposite to the integration of nature. Industrial green development is an attempt to integrate industrial economic operation system with natural system in order to achieve a balance. Green industry is a necessary driving force to promote green economic development and an important way to achieve ecological civilization. In order to further understand the related research of industrial greening, a new research direction is sought. Based on the summary of relevant literature, this paper firstly discusses the connotation and definition of industrial greening. Secondly, it is pointed out that ecological efficiency is an important basis for evaluating the degree of industrial green development, and the research on ecological efficiency mainly includes three aspects: theoretical interpretation, calculation and driver identification. Then, it summarizes the related ideas of industrial green path, including advanced technology application, material reduction, life cycle evaluation, green design, establishment of ecological industrial parks, etc. Finally, it points out the shortcomings of existing research and the prospects for future research.
