She is a pioneer in the area of Industrial symbiosis,[4] a sub-field of Industrial ecology that is focused on the shared management of resources by companies in relative geographic proximity.[5] She convened the first international research symposium on industrial symbiosis in 2004.[6] This meeting brings researchers and practitioners together to discuss current practices and future trends in the field, and is held annually in different parts of the world. Chertow also serves on the managing board of the Journal of Industrial Ecology.,[7] the Editorial Board of BioCycle Magazine, the Board of the Eco-Industrial Development Council, as well as on the Advisory Board of the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund.[8] Her work has been mentioned in the press to explain how concepts and scholarship related to industrial ecology and industrial symbiosis is useful to businesses all over the globe.[9]
Early in her career Chertow worked for Peter Karter at Resource Recovery Systems.[10] Chertow has worked in environmental management for the cities of San Francisco and Windsor, Connecticut, and for the state of Connecticut serving as President of the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority.[11]
