Material Flow Cost Accounting as an Approach to Improve Resource Efficiency in Manufacturing Companies
Mario Schmidt,Michiyasu Nakajima +1 more
TL;DR: The material flow cost accounting (MFCA) method was developed by as mentioned in this paper to identify inefficiencies in the use of resources in a manufacturing company and evaluate material losses in monetary terms and thus point up the economic benefit of resource efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
A recursive ecological indicator system for the supply chain of a company
Mario Schmidt,Regina Schwegler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the concept of cumulative eco-intensity with which environmental or sustainability indicators are related to the added value of economic activities is proposed, where the intensities are passed on recursively from supplier to supplier and thus make it possible to include upstream and downstream effects along the supply and waste disposal chain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreasing Metal Ore Grades—Is the Fear of Resource Depletion Justified?
Nadine Rötzer,Mario Schmidt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the development of ore grades is mainly the result of the increasing demand and the outstanding technological improvements that made mining of low grade ores profitable, which may lead to erroneous conclusions about the safeguard objects.
