Territorial metabolism & Material flow analysis
Analyse how resources are consumed, transformed and recovered across a territory. Identify dependencies and opportunities to optimise resource use and strengthen circularity.
Solutions Tailored to Your Needs
Territorial Material Flow Analysis (MFA)
01
Quantify material flows entering, circulating within and leaving a territory to understand its metabolism. Identify key dependencies, consumption patterns and losses to reveal opportunities for greater circularity.
Typical deliverables:
-
Material flow balances
-
Flow diagrams
-
Territorial metabolism indicators
-
Resource dependency analysis
When you need a quantitative understanding of how resources flow through your territory.
02
Material Flow Accounting
Structure and quantify data on resources consumed, transformed, accumulated and discarded within a territory. Build a robust knowledge base to monitor changes in resource use over time.
Typical deliverables:
-
Material accounts
-
Input-output balances
-
Territorial resource database
-
Indicator time series
When you want to accurately measure and monitor resource use across your territory.
03
Resource Flow Analysis
Analyse specific resource flows to understand their origins, destinations and uses across a territory or value chain. Identify losses, dependencies and opportunities for reduction, reuse, substitution and recovery.
Areas of application:
-
Waste & secondary materials
-
Biomass
-
Construction materials
-
Food resources
When you want to gain a deeper understanding of a specific flow or strategic resource within your territory.
04
Resource Mapping
Identify and locate resources, material streams, needs and recovery capacities across a territory. Analyse their spatial distribution to reveal opportunities for local resource mobilisation and recovery.
Typical applications:
-
Thematic mapping
-
Material stream mapping
-
Spatial analysis
-
Territorial resource atlases
