The Journal of Industrial Ecology announces a special issue on Material Flow Analysis (MFA) - Free Download

Material flow analysis (MFA), the tracking and analysis of materials through the environment and the economy at various scales, holds out the promise of a unique lens through which to examine environmental challenges, providing a valuable addition to the toolkit available to analysts and decision makers.

The Journal of Industrial Ecology announces a special issue on
applications of MFA. This special issue describes a variety of ways
in which MFA has addressed real world situations around the globe,
particularly relating to problems of resource scarcity, pollution
abatement and waste management.

Articles in the special issue are available for free download at
http://www.wiley.com/go/appsmfa for
a limited time. A modest number of free print copies are available
for students, researchers from developing countries and journalists
(contact: indecol@yale.edu).

Prof. Ester van der
Voet, of the Institute of
Environmental Sciences (CML) at Leiden University, the
Netherlands, Prof. Claudia Binder
of the Institute of Systems Sciences,
Innovation and Sustainability Research (ISIS) at the University of
Graz, Austria, and Dr. Kirsten Rosselot of
Process Profiles, Calabasas,
California, served as co-editors of the special issue.

The Journal of Industrial Ecology, a peer-reviewed international
scientific journal, is owned by Yale University, headquartered at the
Yale School of Forestry & Environmental
Studies and published by Wiley-Blackwell. It is the official journal
of the International Society for Industrial Ecology.

Support for this special issue was provided by the U.S. National
