Material flow analysis (MFA) is a tool to quantify the flows and stocks of materials in arbitrarily complex systems. MFA has been widely applied to material systems in providing useful information regarding the patterns of resource use and the losses of materials entering the environment.

Material flow analysis (MFA) refers to the analysis of the throughput of process chains comprising extraction or harvest, chemical transformation, manufacturing, consumption, recycling and disposal of materials. It is based on accounts in physical units quantifying the inputs and outputs of those processes.

Material and Energy Flow Analysis
2017The concept of metabolism takes root in biology and ecology as a systematic way to account for material flows in organisms and ecosystems. Early applications of the concept attempted to quantify the amount of water and food the human body processes to live and sustain itself. Similarly, ecologists have long studied the metabolism of critical substances

Software for Material Flow Analysis
1998This chapter gives an impression of the state of the art of computer programmes dedicated to support Life Cycle Analysis or Material Flow Analysis. Several aspects of the programs, such as the data structure, graphical presentation, dealing with uncertainty and modelling capacities are described.

Material flow analysis of RDF-production processes
Waste Management, 2004The authors evaluate the possibilities of modifying the chemical characteristics of refuse-derived fuels (RDF) that are processed from residual household waste by mechanical operations to achieve and assure quality targets for relevant chemical concentrations, especially for heavy metals and chlorine.
