A Metric for Quantifying Product‐Level Circularity (2017, methodology): “…currently being developed by the EC to monitor progress toward a circular economy are based on MFA.1 MFA has reached maturity as a tool for measuring economy-wide direct material flows (see, e.g., Bringezu et al. 2003; Fisher-Kowalski et al. 2011; Allesch and Brunner 2015; Wood et al. 2009).”
The physical economy of the European Union: Cross-country comparison and determinants of material consumption (2006, methodology): “It consists of a substantial revision and temporal extension of a data set previously provided for Eurostat by the Wuppertal Institute (Eurostat, 2001b; Bringezu et al., 2003).”
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Urban Metabolism (2012, unknown): “…to policy recommendations they usually advocate market-led solutions rather than traditional command and control environmental regulation (e.g., removing subsidies and taxing resource consumption rather than labor) (Fischer-Kowalski and Hüttler 1998; for an example see Bringezu et al. 2003).”
Towards a Circular Economy in Australian Agri‐food Industry: An Application of Input‐Output Oriented Approaches for Analyzing Resource Efficiency and Competitiveness Potential (2016, unknown): “Moreover, the selected indicators intend to show and quantify the resources requirements and use in the early phases of the Australian food production system (Bringezu et al. 2003).”
Methodology and Indicators of Economy‐wide Material Flow Accounting (2011, background): “The interpretation of MFA indicators in terms of environmental pressures depends on the material groups accounted for and is a matter not just of mass flows per unit of time (Bringezu et al. 2003) but also of their quality.”
Eight Tons of Material Footprint—Suggestion for a Resource Cap for Household Consumption in Finland (2014, background): “The material input contains both the resources used in human economy and the unused extraction (see [32]).”
Possible target corridor for sustainable use of global material resources (2015, background): “accounted for—as is the basis for the TMR indicator in the MIPS concept [59]—to represent the associated pressure of primary resource use to the environment, thus including both used and unused extraction, excavation, etc.”
