Abstract

Summary/Abstract: The growing concern for environmental problems in the current economy has spurred the study of the way materials and substances flow through the economy, resulting in many different types of analysis. A diverse set of tools has been developed in Industrial Ecology to tackle the problems caused by human economic activity. These instruments include Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Material Flow Analysis (MFA).The aim of this paper is to make a first step in bridging the gap between the various types of analysis of material flows in the economy, by discussing the main differences and similarities of two employed model types: Material (substance) flow analysis and Life cycle assessment. On the basis of evaluation of analyzed tools and implementation in it decision making, it can concluded that each of the tools serves its own purposes and therefore has its own strong points as well as its own limitations.
