Click to collapse Abstract

This indicator estimates the total raw materials embedded in the final consumption for all countries between 1990 and 2010. Estimates of this consumption-based material extraction are called material footprint (MF) or raw material consumption (RMC). The different categories of raw materials considered are biomass, fossil fuels, metal ores, and non-metallic minerals.
