Material Flow Analysis (MFA): understanding material use and waste

Raw materials are not infinite, we all know that. That is why it is so important to commission a material flow analysis. This will give you an insight into your material use and where you are losing precious resources within your company, area or region.

We help you identify critical materials, opportunities to reduce waste and emissions and encourage circular operations. Moreover, the MFA can be used to support reporting on the input and output of materials. So you are always well prepared, run less risk in the event of raw material scarcity, work more sustainably and make the best use of your natural capital.

Material flow analysis (MFA): what can you expect?

Milgro offers customised Material Flow Analysis to help companies and governments understand and optimise their material flows. Using this systematic, quantitative method, we analyse an organisation's flows and inventories. In doing so, we first delineate the system within which we look at the flow of materials. Is that a country, a region or a company? Then we collect information on all incoming and outgoing flows of raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products and waste, as well as stocks.

When we process and visualise all the data, trends and patterns of material flows appear. With this analysis, we can identify bottlenecks and opportunities in the system and design an action plan for adjusting policies and setting up a raw materials strategy. This way, you work more efficiently, sustainably and forward-looking.
