Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

Appendix C Detailed Classification of Material Inputs* Domestic extraction (used) Fossil fuels Hard coal Lignite (brown coal) Crude oil Natural gas Other (crude oil gas, peat for combustion, oil shale, etc.) Minerals Metal ores Iron ores Nonferrous metal ores Bauxite Copper ores Other Industrial minerals Salts Special clays Special sands Peat for agricultural use Other Construction minerals *From Table 6, Economy-Wide Material Flow Accounts and Derived Indicators: A Meth- odological Guide (Eurostat, 2001~. 117

The rising population and industrial growth place increasing strains on a variety of material and energy resources. Understanding how to make the most economically and environmentally efficient use of materials will require an understanding of the flow of materials from the time a material is extracted through processing, manufacturing, use, and its ultimate destination as a waste or reusable resource. Materials Count examines the usefulness of creating and maintaining material flow accounts for developing sound public policy, evaluates the technical basis for material flows analysis, assesses the current state of material flows information, and discusses who should have institutional responsibility for collecting, maintaining, and providing access to additional data for material flow accounts.
