Circular Economy: The Concept and its Limitations (2016, background): “For eco-efficiency, i.e. environmental impacts per unit of economic production (Brattebo, 2005; Huppes and Ishikawa, 2009), the rebound effect and the Jevon's paradox can be harmful.”
Agritourism and Sustainability: What We Can Learn from a Systematic Literature Review (2020, background): “While the micro-level pertains to business value aspects related to the single enterprise (farm), the macro-level deals with the generation of value for the whole industrial branch or the region (or country) where the company operates [42].”
Linking Industrial Ecology and Ecological Economics: A Theoretical and Empirical Foundation for the Circular Economy (2019, background): “Sometimes, this has been framed as decoupling environmental pressure from economic growth (Holm and Englund 2009; Huppes and Ishikawa 2009), although not all ecological economists would necessarily agree with such a framework because of its emphasis on growth (Jollands 2006; Hukkinen 2001).”
Economic-environmental monitoring indicators for European countries: A disaggregated sector-based approach for monitoring eco-efficiency (2011, background): “…eco-efficiency of branches, which could also be seen as the missing link between the activities of individual companies and the macroeconomic level or, in other words, as a means of connecting the micro level with the macro-level performance of societies (Huppes, 2007; Huppes and Ishikawa, 2009).”
Circular economy as an essentially contested concept (2018, background): “Furthermore, eco-efficiency as a microeconomic-level success can be falsely understood as a contribution to the overall macroeconomic-level sustainability (Huppes and Ishikawa, 2009).”
A new frontier approach to model the eco-efficiency in European countries (2015, background): “…ecoefficiency of branches, which could also be seen as the missing link between the activities of individual companies and the macroeconomic level or, in other words, as a means of connecting the micro level with the macro-level performance of societies (Huppes, 2007, Huppes and Ishikawa, 2009).”
Value Drivers of Corporate Eco-Efficiency: Management Accounting Information for the Efficient Use of Environmental Resources (2013, unknown): “Eco-efficiency is one of the most popular concepts for the integrated measurement of corporate environmental and financial performance (Callens and Tyteca, 1999; Ciroth, 2009; Huppes and Ishikawa, 2005a, 2005b, 2009; Lamberton, 2005).”
