Biography

Pauli, Gunter

These are exciting concepts, which point towards a more holistic view of sustainable development than anything debated to date. - Tomorrow magazine - Paul Scott

Zero Emissions will be the standard for industry in the 21st century. - 1996 White Book on The Environment, The Environment Agency, Japan

Pauli's treatise is compelling ... [he] clearly knows his stuff, and serves up new concepts and terminology every few pages. But woven through are inspiring stories of enterprises in a variety of countries that have prospered by creating closed loop systems. - The Green Business Letter

The discussed cases show that not only can pollution and waste be reduced to zero, but at the same time income and amount of jobs can be increased. The whole of society will benefit from it. - International Journal of Environment and Pollution
