POINTS OF INTEREST.

A weekly collection of websites worth visiting.

Does the title of this article appeal to you? -- A Product Non-Specific Framework for Evaluating the Potential of Biomass-Based Products to Displace Fossil Fuels

Or how about this? -- Making Plastics from Garbage: A Novel Process of Poly-L-Lactate Production from Municipal Food Waste

This? -- Cumulative Energy and Global Warming Impact from Production of Biomass for Biobased Products

Or this? -- U.S. Federal Initiatives to Support Biomass Research and Development

These are all articles from the Journal of Industrial Ecology from the MIT Press which describes itself as an international quarterly fostering understanding and practice in the emerging field of industrial ecology.

There are sample articles at the site, but full subscriptions are a bit of a bargain at $58 for individuals (including electronic access). Visit the Journal of Industrial Ecology at http://mitpress.mit.edu/jie/bio-based/
