Zusammenfassung
UThis paper proposes “UPIOM Cube”, a new tool for graphical visualization of the economy-wide inter-sector flows of an arbitrary number of materials. The tool is based on the hybrid input-output methods developed by ourselves in earlier work. The quality of metals recovered from an end-of-life product is degraded if various metals are mixed in the end-of-life process. It is thus indispensable to consider different materials simultaneously in a material flow analysis for sustainable material management. In order to demonstrate the utility of UPIOM Cube, we apply the tool to flows of iron and copper associated with passenger car production in Japan.
