Abstract

Eco-efficiency evaluation system based on material flow analysis

Author(s): Zhao Jingfeng

Eco-efficiency is an appropriate measure of circular economy as well as a research hotspot of sustainable development issue. In addition, material flow analysis (MFA) is an important instrument and method applicable to eco-efficiency evaluation and ecoefficiency indicator combined with material flow analysis indicator is the best measure indicator evaluating development of national circular economy. Therefore, this thesis combines with theory of material flow analysis and eco-efficiency and establishes ecoefficiency evaluation indicators in allusion to different spatial dimensions, which are respectively regional direct eco-efficiency (RDE), regional total eco-efficiency (RTE) and Holistic eco-efficiency (HE)
