Material and cost efficiency within solid waste management through enhancing the material flow cost accounting

Description

Material flow cost accounting (MFCA) is an instrument of Environmental Management Accounting and aims to increase eco-efficiency by reducing environmental impacts and costs at the same time. As reducts (waste, waste water from upstream companies) have not yet been considered within the methodology of the existing MFCA, the instrument cannot be properly applied to recycling and disposal companies. By including reducts and connected revenues into MFCA, the tool is also applicable for recycling and waste management companies. A case study where MFCA is applied in a biogenic waste fermentation plant will show the procedural method.
