“…It connects the material's sources, pathways, and intermediate and final sinks [136]. MFA can be applied to any socio-economic system at any scale, such as global and national economies, a specific economic sector, a company, a city, or even a household [20,52,60,74,137,138]. In terms of time, static analysis can capture the material flow and/or stock over a specific period, usually a year, although this is less common [132,139].…”

“…Several studies provided indicators based on stock levels, such as materials' saturation in industrialized countries [63][64][65][66], and socio-economic indicators, such as the decreasing housing stock in developed countries [67] in contrast to a housing deficit in developing countries [68]. In other words, researchers here attempted to explore and understand the relationship between stock levels and production, consumption, social welfare, population, and income, along with other parameters [60,[68][69][70][71][72][73][74].…”

Mining the Built Environment: Telling the Story of Urban Mining

Materials are continuously accumulating in the human-built environment since massive amounts of materials are required for building, developing, and maintaining cities. At the end of their life cycles, these materials are considered valuable sources of secondary materials. The increasing construction and demolition waste released from aging stock each year make up the heaviest, most voluminous waste outflow, presenting challenges and opportunities. These material stocks should be utilized and exploited since the reuse and recycling of construction materials would positively impact the natural environment and resource efficiency, leading to sustainable cities within a grander scheme of a circular economy. The exploitation of material stock is known as urban mining. In order to make these materials accessible for future mining, material quantities need to be estimated and extrapolated to regional levels. This demanding task requires a vast knowledge of the existing building stock, which can only be obtained through labor-intensive, time-consuming methodologies or new technologies, such as building information modeling (BIM), geographic information systems (GISs), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning. This review paper gives a general overview of the literature body and tracks the evolution of this research field.

“… 21 One such approach has been used to derive a centennial global time-series of material stocks, 12 however, with almost no spatial differentiation (three world regions). While the country-level resolution is attainable with this approach, 31 it is not suited for high-resolution mapping and hence misses a key characteristic of material stocks, i.e., how they distribute in space. Methods to map material stocks generally employ a stock-driven “bottom-up” approach: spatially explicit data are used to calculate physical dimensions of buildings and infrastructures, such as length, area, or volume.…”

The dynamics of societal material stocks such as buildings and infrastructures and their spatial patterns drive surging resource use and emissions. Two main types of data are currently used to map stocks, night-time lights (NTL) from Earth-observing (EO) satellites and cadastral information. We present an alternative approach for broad-scale material stock mapping based on freely available high-resolution EO imagery and OpenStreetMap data. Maps of built-up surface area, building height, and building types were derived from optical Sentinel-2 and radar Sentinel-1 satellite data to map patterns of material stocks for Austria and Germany. Using material intensity factors, we calculated the mass of different types of buildings and infrastructures, distinguishing eight types of materials, at 10 m spatial resolution. The total mass of buildings and infrastructures in 2018 amounted to ∼5 Gt in Austria and ∼38 Gt in Germany (AT: ∼540 t/cap, DE: ∼450 t/cap). Cross-checks with independent data sources at various scales suggested that the method may yield more complete results than other data sources but could not rule out possible overestimations. The method yields thematic differentiations not possible with NTL, avoids the use of costly cadastral data, and is suitable for mapping larger areas and tracing trends over time.

Economy‐wide material system analysis: Mapping material flows through the economy

This article proposes a new approach for mapping material flows through the economy referred to as economy-wide material system analysis (EW-MSA). EW-MSA monitors material flows along production chains, connects manufacturing and use of various products with related emission flows, and shows how waste is recycled. The quantification of material flows in EW-MSA is carried out by unambiguously defined EW-MSA indicators. The data on EW-MSA indicators are organized in an EW-MSA database while the results of EW-MSA can be clearly presented with Sankey flow charts. The proposed method was tested using the Czech Republic as a case study. It shows that the Czech Republic is an open economy, as more manufactured products are exported than used domestically. The total physical stock of materials in the economy is continuously growing and only about 7% of total material input into manufacturing is composed of secondary materials. Manufacturing of motor vehicles and transport equipment is highly dependent on imported materials and a significant amount of waste from motor vehicles' manufacture and use is exported instead of being recycled and returned to the manufacturing process. Further development and use of EW-MSA should go hand in hand with the development of needed data sources: Only a fraction of data was directly accessible in the official statistics while the rest had to be modeled with the use of other data and various coefficients. This burdened the results with some uncertainties. K E Y W O R D Seconomy-wide material flow analysis (EW-MFA), economy-wide material system analysis (EW-MSA), industrial ecology, product groups, secondary materials INTRODUCTIONAs shown by Krausman et al. (2009Krausman et al. ( , 2018, there has been an unprecedented increase in global resource use, emissions, and waste flows in the 20th and 21th centuries. It was calculated that resource use increased to 89 Gt per year between 1900 and 2015, which represented a growth by a factor of 12. Similarly, emissions and waste flows increased up to 58 Gt per year over the same period-a growth by a factor of 8. These immense resource and emission flows have increasingly contributed to various global environmental problems such as eutrophication, acidification, biodiversity loss,
