- Absolute versus Relative Environmental Sustainability (2013, unknown): “However, as pointed out by Ayres (2004), nature does in fact create waste in the form of deposits that accumulate and are not utilized by any biophysical processes.”
- Analysing the evolution of industrial ecosystems: concepts and application (2005, background): “One should be careful in the use of the natural ecosystem model, because cultural and biological systems are fundamentally different (Norton et al., 1997; Ring, 1997; Korhonen, 2001b, 2004b; Ayres, 2004).”
- Accounting for the environment: Towards a theoretical perspective for environmental accounting and reporting (2010, background): “Moreover, industry is very wasteful of materials, recycling little (Ayres, 2004).”
