Abstract
The Leontief input-output model has been applied for macro environmental an alysis since 1970, and life cycle analysis has been used in industrial desi gn over the last decade. This paper presents two extended environmental inp ut-output models for life cycle analysis in pollutant abatement and towards resource recycling. It is demonstrated that the suggested models are syste matic tools that can be used for integrated environmental analysis and plan ning.
