Material flow cost accounting – international Standard in development

Material flow cost accounting (MFCA), an environmental management accounting developed in Germany in the late 1990s and since adopted widely in Japan, focuses on tracing waste, emissions and non-products, and can help boost an organisation's economic and environmental performance.

To standardise MFCA practices, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is working on the development of Environmental management – Material flow cost accounting – General framework, ISO 14051.

ISO 14051 is targeted for publication early in 2011 and will be complementary to the ISO 14000 family of environmental system Standards (EMS).
