Economy-wide material flow indicators: Overall framework, purposes and uses and comparison of material use and resource intensity of the Czech Republic, Germany and the EU-15
Original language description
Material flows induced by national economies can be regarded as indirect pressure indicators for environmental degradation. Economy-wide material flow analysis and indicators can serve various purposes including monitoring the material basis of nationaleconomies and related environmental pressures, assessment of the material and resource productivity and monitoring the implications of trade and globalisation. The main part of this paper compares the material and resource use of the Czech Republic, Germany and the EU-15 by means of DMI and TMR indicators over the period of 1991-2004. At the aggregate level both indicators in all three economies do not show any clear decreasing or increasing trends over the period considered. This means that environmental pressure related to use of materials for production and consumption purposes remains rather stable. All the economies however, recorded an increase in the efficiency of transforming the material/resource inputs into economic output. Th
