development of data inputs to Sankey diagrams of Austrian material flows
Abstract
In a EUROSTAT grant project "Environmental Accounts / Circular Economy", Statistik Austria will develop a Sankey diagram for the Austrian circular economy based on the data of the Material Flow Analysis (MFA). Therefore it is necessary to develop a consistent link between the MFA input and output flows. This includes an evaluation and possible revision especially of the material outputs. The Institute for Social Ecology has a lot of experience in method development and the compilation of material flow analyses and has developed the method for the preparation of Sankey diagrams for the European Commission (see Mayer et al. 2018). Based on this expertise, the Institute of Social Ecology together with Statistik Austria will conduct an evaluation and revision of the Austrian MFA data in 3 workshops and will support the implementation of a Sankey diagram at Statistik Austria.
