Incorporation of recycling flows into economy-wide material flow accounting and analysis: A case study for the Czech Republic

Resources, Conservation & Recycling, 2014, vol. 92, issue C, 78-84

Abstract: Economy-wide material flow accounting and analysis (EW-MFA) is considered a convenient tool for monitoring the vast range of issues related to the consumption of materials. As an increase in recycling is considered a crucial way of decreasing environmental pressures from this consumption, it makes sense to develop an indicator based on EW-MFA which would incorporate recycling flows. A prominent example of such an indicator is the cyclical use rate, which was developed by the Japanese Fundamental Plan for Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society.
