Editorial Reviews
Review
To make MFA generally understandable for a broad readership and to enrich the information background of LCA experts at the same time, is a brilliant feat and the authors' real reward. Written in a very clear and precise language, making the ambitious matter comprehensive, the book has an excellent didactic structure and continues to offer further food for thought. … [This book] meets the claim of serving as a 'practical handbook' of Material Flow Analysis in every respect and is highly recommended.

Book Description
The first-ever book on this subject establishes a rigid, transparent and useful methodology for investigating the material metabolism of anthropogenic systems. Using Material Flow Analysis (MFA), the main sources, flows, stocks, and emissions of man-made and natural materials can be determined. By demonstrating the application of MFA, this book reveals how resources can be conserved and the environment protected within complex systems. The fourteen case studies presented exemplify the potential for MFA to contribute to sustainable materials management. Exercises throughout the book deepen comprehension and expertise. The authors have had success in applying MFA to various fields, and now promote the use of MFA so that future engineers and planners have a common method for solving resource-oriented problems.
