Examples of such studies include fossil fuels combustion in the energy sector (Dvořák et al 2017), integrated gasification combined cycle (Naidu et al 2018), bakery (Chance et al 2018), pharmaceutical manufacturing (Sharma et al 2020. More specifically, material flow models have been used on drain systems (El-Baz et al 2005), wood biomass (Anbumozhi et al 2009), coal mines (Liang et al 2010), cadmium flows (Kwonpongsagoon et al 2007), nitrogen fertilizer production (Kliopova et al 2015), silver in X-ray waste (Khunprasert et al 2007), recycling of computer equipment (García et al 2011), recycling of construction steel (Chong and Hermreck 2010), solid waste (Böhm et al 2011), copper cycle system (Bader et al 2010), on paper recycling (Pivnenko et al 2016), and also on plastics like polyethylene terephthalate (Matha et al 2006;Kuczenski and Geyer 2010).…”
