Details
Since 1998, the Tanikawa Laboratory at Nagoya University has been estimating and evaluating the weight of human activity, particularly attempting to elucidate how much material has been used in industrial processes. The physical weight of industrial life is reflected in buildings, roads, cars, furniture, and other durable materials that provide crucial services to our society. This is the material stock of Society, which requires constant inflows of material from the Environment, and produces outflow wastes as well. Reducing the accumulated weight and improving the efficiency of the stock we already have are vital to achieving a more sustainable society.https://sd.urban.env.nagoya-u.ac.jp/ensap/en/
