碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 環境規劃與管理研究所 === 94 === Industrial ecology has been described as the “science of sustainability” and the field attempts to understand the potential for environmental improvement in industry using an analogy of industrial systems to natural ecological system. The Environmental Protection Administration, R.O.C, is planning to build fore Environmental Science and Technology Park(ESTPs) in Taiwan. This represents the “win-win-win” outcome often proposed for sustainable development-not only do participating firms benefit financially, but also there are broader societal gains in the form of reduced environmental impacts and improved jobs and working conditions. Some literature, however, has developed suggesting that some barriers of eco-industrial park needed to be overcome. This paper is intended to contribute to these critiques by focusing on the key problems and dilemmas that arise in the course of developing eco-industrial park in Taiwan. The method applied is statistical entropy, which quantifies the distribution pattern of a substance caused by a system. The entropy approach improves our understanding of industrial metabolism and is a useful decision support and design tool. The strategic attract companies joined in the field by supplying material exchange. The results shows that CD/DVD recycle system’s RSE is -0.668, and it means efficiency of material use is convergence. The surface of screw treatment system’s RSE is 1.94, and it means efficiency of material use is dissipated. The relevance shows that even a more optimized waste management system with higher recycling efficiency could not prevent dissipated condition, but still can decreased. Therefore, entropy approach improves our understanding of industrial metabolism since a scheme adopted that take whole systems consider can improve the use of material.
