Material accounting in a macroeconomic framework forecast of waste generated in manufacturing industries in Norway
(Discussion Papers;No. 236, Working paper, 1998)This paper analyses the generation of waste in production processes, based on the physical law of conservation of mass. By this law, mass going into a production process must equal the mass coming out of the same process. ... -
