美国玻璃工业生产各种各样的产品，用于工业和最终用途。为此，大量原材料被开采和使用，能源被降解，污染物被产生并释放到环境中。该行业早就认识到其对经济环境系统中的物质循环和能量流动的影响。它现在正在采用系统观点来解决与其材料和能源使用有关的问题。为了实现这一系统观点，根据时间序列数据、工程信息和行业专家的见解，开发了该行业集装箱、平板和玻璃纤维部门的动态计算机模型。该模型包括主要原材料的提取阶段、原材料和废弃产品的运输--返回生产商和装桶--以及所需产品的各种制造过程。在该模型的基础上，对1988-2028年的材料和能源使用以及CO2排放情况在生产率、技术变革和回收利用等各种情景下进行了量化。
The US glass industry produces a wide variety of products for industrial and end use purposes. Towards that end, large amounts of raw materials are extracted and used, energy is degraded and pollutants are generated and released into the environment. The industry has long recognized its influence on material cycles and energy flows through the economy-environment system. It is now in the process of adopting a systems perspective to tackle the problems associated with its material and energy use. To operationalize that systems perspective a dynamic computer model of the container, flat and fiberglass sectors of the industry is developed on the basis of time series data, engineering information and insights from industry experts. The model includes the extraction stage of the main raw materials, transportation of raw materials and discarded products — both back to producers and to ladfills — and the various manufacturing processes of the desired products. On the basis of the model, material and energy use and CO2emissions profiles for the years 1988–2028 are quantified under a variety of scenarios on production rates, technology change and recycling.
