Abstract :
There have been a growing number of tools and methodologies for management and monitoring of sustainable development. Like the cleaner production, life cycle assessment, eco-design, eco-efficiency, factor 4, factor 10, zero emission, the natural step framework etc. They have been supported by a number of organizations and programs. This variety has led to some confusion regarding to the connotation, differences, linkage and how to apply them systematically. This study intended to elaborate the sustainability management model of ecomaterial by investigating the concepts and linkage between related tools and methodologies
