Material flow statistics of the A.C. of the Basque Country. 2005 - 2015

Description

One of the characteristics of today's society is the production and consumption of goods, with the consequent environmental impacts due to the extraction, transformation, use and elimination of finite natural resources. Therefore, the evolution towards an economic model based on sustainable development involves reducing the material consumption of economies, especially in developed countries, decoupling the use of natural resources (water, materials and energy) and ecological services (nature's capacity to absorb waste and emissions) from economic growth. This process of reducing material consumption is known as dematerialization. It can occur both in relative terms, per unit of GDP, (weak dematerialization), and in absolute terms (strong dematerialization).To analyze the consumption of materials by an economy and monitor the demateralization process, Material Flow Analysis (AFM) is used. AFM is a methodology for quantifying the materials (raw materials, semi-invoices and final products) exchanged between the system and the environment. The AFM is based on the concept of social metabolism, which compares the economy to a living being: the economy "feeds" on resources and materials, taking advantage of them and extracting their "nutrients", and then returning a waste to the natural environment. A mass balance relates these inputs to the economy (food) with the outputs (excretion), being the difference the accumulation of materials of the economy in the form of consumer goods (growth of biomass). Counting the materials that enter and leave the economic system can produce indicators easy to obtain and understand, providing an overview of the physical dimension of the economy of a territory.Two of the most used indicators in the Analysis of Material Flows are the Total Need for Materials (NTM), which represents the totality of materials that enter the economy, and Domestic Material Consumption (CDM), which gives an idea about the external dependence at the material level of an economy.
