Urban energy consumption: Different insights from energy flow analysis, input–output analysis and ecological network analysis (2015, background): “EFA indicators parallel the metrics in material flow analysis (MFA), which are strong tools for tracking urban energy flows and indexing the energy intensity of economic sectors from the production perspective [21–23].”
Policies for transitioning towards a circular economy: Expectations from the European Union (EU) (2020, neutral): “According to Brunner and Rechberger (2004), MFA provides a “systematic assessment of the flows and stocks of materials within a system defined in space and time” (p. 3).”
Solid waste management in European countries: a review of systems analysis techniques. (2011, methodology): “…flow analysis Consists of a systematic assessment of the flows and stocks of materials within a system defined in space and time (Brunner and Rechberger, 2003) Software developed in MFA: SFINX (van der Voet, 1995a,b), FLUX (Huijbregts, 2000), STAN (TU Vienna, 2009), DYNFLOW…”
Superabsorbent hydrogels based on polysaccharides for application in agriculture as soil conditioner and nutrient carrier: A review (2015, background): “One of the traditional approaches for analysis and monitoring of agricultural nutrients in natural systems is deﬁned as SFA (Substance Flow Analysis) which consists of an analysis of the total ﬂow of a nutrient or a group of nutrients through a given system during a given time [150].”
An environmental assessment system for environmental technologies (2014, methodology): “This setup not only allows the user to track the different substance flows over the full system, but also to create Sankey diagrams as known from material flow analysis (Brunner and Rechberger, 2004) and to relate emission inventories to the different material flows throughout the model.”
Metrics for optimising the multi-dimensional value of resources recovered from waste in a circular economy: A critical review (2017, methodology): “chemical elements (atoms) or chemical compounds (molecules)) (Brunner and Rechberger, 2004; Stanisavljevic and Brunner, 2014).”
Critical review of global plastics stock and flow data (2021, background): “Specifically, material flow analysis (MFA) is the primarymethod for stock and flow accounting and has been appliedwidely to examine anthropogenic stocks and flows of various materials (Allen et al., 2009; Bringezu &Moriguchi, 2015; Brunner & Rechberger, 2016).”
