Zusammenfassung
Material Flow Assessment (MFA) is a method of analyzing the material flow of a process in a well-defined system. Referring to the life cycle of a product the Material Flow Assessment is part of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and provides the possibility of assessing the environmental impact of a process and product respectively. Applying these methods to recycling processes the potential of saving primary and secondary resources may be measurable. The presented paper will give an overview on the strategy how MFA can contribute to Environmental Management Information Systems (EMIS).
