Material Flow Analysis (MFA)
Service > Accounting for all material and energy streams
Except conducts Material Flow Analyses as a foundation for sector roadmapping, industrial process design, sustainability strategy consulting, and many of our other core services. Material Flow Analysis can be performed on the level of a process, a building, a company, an industrial sector, a city, or even a whole nation. In simplest terms, it is the accounting for and evaluation of all the material and energy flows entering and leaving a given system.
Examples
Sustainable Schiebroek-Zuid
We developed a sustainabile conversion and development plan for the post-war social housing area Schiebroek-Zuid in Rotterdam. The project provides a flexible and exemplary roadmap for converting the neighborhood into a self-sufficient and sustainable area. It applies innovative energy solutions, urban farming, social and economic programs, secondary currencies, and adaptive redevelopment strategies.
This project was commissioned by housing corporation Vestia and agricultural research network InnovatieNetwerk.
No Time To Waste (2018)
LC Packaging serves customers across the globe with packaging products to protect, preserve and transport goods. Except was requested to assess its baseline sustainability performance.
At product level we examined reusing Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) and found a significant CO2 emission reduction potential. At corporate level we investigated energy and water use, waste generation and CO2 emission. See below for our main findings.
