Abstract

Decision-making about sustainable development is closely related to Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA) and Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), and it still lacks a mature theoretical method system capable of analyzing the lifecycle extension of MFCA. For this reason, this paper takes the adaptation range of MFCA as its starting point and constructs a method system for analyzing lifecycle-extended MFCA. This system involves an MFCA-LCA integrated flow model and accounting method, and it introduces a case study to describe the accounting of environmental damage value, the cost accounting of MFCA and the implementation steps of a comprehensive assessment of MFCA-LCA. This paper extends and expands MFCA theory, and it also provides guidance to enterprises that implement MFCA.
