EIONET - European Topic Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production: Material Flows, Concepts and Methodology

Definition: Most changes in the natural environment are brought about by human activities, and by the resulting flows of material. The cycle of this 'industrial metabolism' starts with the extraction of raw materials, then includes the use of material and energy for production and consumption, continues with recycling, to end up with final disposal. Continuously high levels of material use have environmental implications, as all this material must be extracted, transported, transformed and eventually disposed of, with environmental impacts at each stage.
