“…A large variety of benefits from applying MFCA in developing countries could be found. MFCA is shown to assist companies to identify underestimated costs, reduce losses, waste, and environmental impacts [52,63,78,79]; increase product quality and competitiveness [59,62]; improve processes as well as resource efficiency [62,68,77]; and support decision-making [52,53,61,65,70,74]. These benefits, recognized among various contexts and various industries, can be grouped into two broad categories: eco-efficiency and strategic decision-making.…”

“…With some slight differences among cases studies in the steps of MFCA application, 23 cases present explicitly how companies applied this tool in practice. For example, Dunuwila et al [78] describe MFCA application at a crepe company in which the manufacturing process was illustrated in more detail as follows: rubber latex collection, standardization, coagulation, milling, drying, folding, dry blanket milling, cutting, and packing. Based on MFCA calculation, three improvement options regarding reduction of fresh water, chemicals, and electricity use were suggested, leading to a notable reduction in the need for water and electricity, emission of greenhouse gases, and costs at the same time.…”

“…Step-2 has two objectives: 1) Identifying key drivers of GWP impacts; and 2) Proposing applicable improvement options. For the first objective, What-if analysis [23] was deployed to assess the impact that one parameter in a model would incur on that model when it changes. Only one parameter was changed at each iteration while the changes were recorded and ultimately presented as a tornado plot (see Fig.…”

“…MFA is used widely to assess resource use, material efficiency, cascade use, recycling quote, etc. at different geographical levels (national, sector, and product-level) [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. With respect to biomass flows MFA have already been conducted for different regions and countries, e.g., biomass use within the European Union [22], Austria [23] or Switzerland [24], or wood material flow in Finland [25], France [26], Germany [27][28][29][30], or the Netherlands [31].…”

“…Studies assessing the economic pillar of sustainability based on MFA include material flow costing studies [18,[41][42][43] and life cycle costing studies [40,44]. There are also approaches which cannot be clearly attributed to a particular methodology [45][46][47].…”
