Abstract: | The economy and the environment are connected through material and energy flows. These flows are the key cause of environmental problems (together with land use and other biological and social factors) and can serve as an indirect indicator of pressure on the environment. The leading method for assessing material flows and dematerialization at a macroeconomic level was developed during the 1990s by a number of research institutes and organisations. The result of this effort was the guide. This is a guide for the analysis of the total mas of annual material inputs and outputs for the whole economic system, using accounts, balances and derived indicators of material flows. |
