Monitoring food-related material flows with the use of economy-wide material system analysis
Economy‐wide material system analysis
This article proposes a new approach for mapping material flows through the economy referred to as economy‐wide material system analysis (EW‐MSA). EW‐MSA monitors material flows along production chains, connects manufacturing and use of various products with related emission flows, and shows how waste is recycled. The quantification of material flows in EW‐MSA is carried out by unambiguously defined EW‐MSA indicators. The data on EW‐MSA indicator…
Use of Physical Supply and Use Tables for Calculation of Economy‐Wide Material Flow Indicators
The study described in this article presents the first‐ever physical supply and use tables (PSUTs) based on the recently published methodological standard for the System of Environmental‐Economic Accounting (SEEA). The tables were compiled for the Czech Republic for 2014. The compilation procedure followed was described in detail so that it can serve as a source of inspiration and a benchmark for other researchers and/or statisticians. The major …
What Makes the Difference in Raw Material Equivalents Calculation Through Environmentally Extended Input-Output Analysis
Economy‐wide Material Flow Indicators on a Sectoral Level and Strategies for Decreasing Material Inputs of Sectors
The article presents a method for the calculation of selected economy‐wide material flow indicators (namely, direct material input [DMI] and raw material input [RMI]) for economic sectors. Whereas sectoral DMI was calculated using direct data from statistics, we applied a concept of total flows and a hybrid input‐output life cycle assessment method to calculate sectoral RMI. We calculated the indicators for the Czech Republic for 2000–2011. We ar…
Patterns of change in material use and material efficiency in the successor states of the former Soviet Union
The importance of raw material equivalents in economy-wide material flow accounting and its policy dimension
Structural Decomposition Analysis of Raw Material Consumption
Material Flow Indicators in the Czech Republic in Light of the Accession to the European Union
This article deals with the economy‐wide material flows in the Czech Republic in 1990–2006. It presents in brief the overall trends of the material flow indicators in 1990–2002. The major part of the article is focused on the years 2002–2006, which immediately preceded and followed the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union in 2004. It is shown that this accession had quite a significant impact on the volume and character of the ma…
Assessing Socioeconomic Metabolism Through Hybrid Life Cycle Assessment
This article applies a combined input−output and life cycle inventory (LCI) method to the calculation of emissions and material requirements of the Czech economy in 2003. The main focus is on materials and emissions embodied in the international trade of the Czech Republic. Emissions and material extraction avoided due to imports are calculated according to an input−output approach that assumes the same production technology for imports as for do…
Changes in Materials Use in Transition Economies
This article examines the development of material consumption in three transition economies during the years 1990–2002. We compare the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland and benchmark their material consumption against average values for the 15 member states of the European Union (formation as of 1995) representing a typical market economy. The article compares consumption of materials in these countries and relates them to relevant socioeconomi…
Calculation of the“Net Additions to Stock” Indicator for the Czech Republic Using a Direct Method
Net additions to stock (NAS) are an indicator based on economy‐wide material flow accounting and analysis. NAS, a measure of the physical growth rate of an economy, can be used for estimates of future waste flows. It is calculated using two methods: The indirect method of calculation is a simple difference between all input and output flows, whereas the direct method involves measuring the amounts of materials added to particular categories of ph…
