Environmental Input-Output Analysis

Environmental Input-Output Analysis is a method used to understand the flow of materials and energy in an economy and their environmental impacts. It looks at how industries interact with each other and their surroundings, tracking inputs (like raw materials and energy) and outputs (like products and waste) across the entire production process. This analysis helps identify areas where resources can be used more efficiently, waste can be reduced, and environmental impacts can be minimized, supporting sustainable practices in industrial activities and contributing to a healthier planet.
