Material flow accounting provides a statistical framework measuring natural resource extraction, trade in natural resources, waste disposal and emissions. Domestic material consumption and material footprint are used as a proxy for overall environmental pressure within a national economy and the impact of a national economy on the environment. Economy-wide material flow accounting (EW-MFA) describes the interaction of a domestic economy with the natural environment and the global economy in terms of flows of materials, waste and emissions. This document provides global guidance on EW-MFA that can be used by national environmental policymakers around the world for developing a circular economy.
