Abstract
The material flow analysis approach presented here can be used to reveal the quantity and the structure of the material throughput of a national or regional economy and its material exchange with the environment. Material flow based indicators for progress towards sustainability can be derived, and analyses can be conducted to support the planning and control of effective measures for materials management. Compatible flow analyses can be performed on the national, regional, and local level.
