| Abstract: | The author analyses the generation of waste in production processes using a technique based on the physical law of conservation of mass. She uses the mass balance perspective to refine a previously developed technique for forecasting waste quantities. The difference between input and output, the residual, consists of discharges to land, water and air. The author predicts a growth in the residuals from manufacturing industries of 74 % from 1993 to 2010. This growth is partly explained by an anticipated growth in material intensity. |
