Material and Energy Flow Analysis and Associated Environmental Impacts of Swiss Mobility

Cecilia Matasci

The development of material flow analysis (MFA) on large-scale systems is challenging due to the complexity and breadth of data that are required and the magnitude of the mass flows involved. This is true, for example, when trying to determine the material ...
