Abstract

The article suggests that material flow analysis (MFA) has the potential to inform the next generation of environmental policies particularly in the U.S. through the illumination of materials use and associated emissions patterns. Several attributes of MFA coupled with complementary methods such as probabilistic modeling, behavioral modeling and macroeconomics are elaborated. The author concludes that MFA practitioners have the opportunity to strive to inform persistent and emerging U.S. environmental policy changes.
