23 Considering Eco Cost Natural Capital Eco Cost Financial Cost Eco Cost Financial Cost Prevention Mitigation Remediation Sustainable Growth Capitalism GDP Growth Consumerism Profit Maximization Business Case

24 What is Eco Cost? to prevent, mitigate or remediate the burden caused to Natural Capital DEFINITION Eco cost is a measure to express the amount of environmental burden of a product on the basis of prevention of that burden. This is the cost which should be made to reduce the environmental pollution and materials depletion in our world to a level which is in line with the carrying capacity of our earth.
