Eurostat’s economy-wide material flow accounts

Economy-wide material flow accounts (EW-MFA) provide an aggregate overview, in thousand tonnes per year, of the material flows into and out of an economy. EW-MFA cover solid, gaseous, and liquid materials, except for bulk flows of water and air. Eurostat undertakes annual data collections which are covered by Regulation (EU) 691/2011 consolidated version (Annex III). The EW-MFA questionnaire as well as compilation guidelines can be found on the Environment – methodology webpage of the Eurostat website. EW-MFA data are downloadable from Eurostat's online database. Six data sets are available: Material flow accounts (env_ac_mfa): includes detailed material flows into (domestic extraction and physical imports) and out (physical exports) of an economy according to Regulation (EU) 691/2011, Material flow accounts - domestic processed output (env_ac_mfadpo): provides detailed material flows from an economy to the environment, termed 'domestic processed output', Material flow accounts - balancing items (env_ac_mfabi): provides balancing items required to articulate a consistent material input-output balance of an economy, Material flow accounts - main indicators (env_ac_mfain): this dataset provides highly aggregated EW-MFA and derived indicators, Resource productivity (env_ac_rp): resource productivity is the policy indicator relating gross domestic product (GDP) – measured in various units – to the main material flow indicator domestic material consumption (DMC) and Material flow accounts in raw material equivalents (MFA-RME) - modelling estimates (env_ac_rme): extension to the standard EW-MFA to include the 'material footprint' indicator raw material consumption - RMC. It is based on environmental-economic modelling.
