Detailed Information:
Applying the methods of material flow analysis (MFA), the STAF project started its work on copper and zinc and produced complete contemporary cycle characterizations for all countries using significant amounts of these materials, nine world regions, and the planet as a whole. The project is also studying other metals (nickel, silver, iron, chromium, tungsten, tin, and lead) as well as some selected radioisotopes (cobalt 60, cesium 137) and lumber.
