    Abstract

    This paper discusses the importance of material- and resource efficiency at a micro and macro level and presents the Material Flow Cost Accounting as an instrument to enhance resource efficiency. The main points of criticism are used as starting points for an advancement: the expansion of Material Flow Cost Accounting to the supply chain and the product life cycle. In this paper, the cost effects and quantity effects on upstream and downstream stages are examined. An explanatory model for the dissemination of MFCA in the supply chain is presented. Furthermore, the article discusses the potentials, limitations and requirements for applying MFCA to the supply chain. The development of a life cycle oriented indicator system concludes the paper.
