MATERIALS COUNT
implementation of material flows accounting conclusions, adversity,
suspicion, fear, and resistance.
The committee believes that a broad range of proactive partnerships
is necessary to ensure successful development, implementation, and
effective use of material flows accounts. However, significant
impediments to building effective partnerships will have to be overcome,
as cliscussed in detail in Chapter 6. The ongoing work of the U.S.
Geological Survey and the Bureau of Economic Analysis provide robust
partnership-based models for data collection and analysis.
IDENTIFYING AND SELECTING
AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
A multidisciplinary advisory committee of expert parkers should
initially specify data needs for targeted materials reflective of cost-
benefit trade-offs, including integration, structuring accounts to address
these needs, and developing a protocol for creation, prioritization, and
population of accounts. Abler the initial work has been accomplished, the
advisory committee would then guide successive steps aimed at
achieving maturity of the system; coordinate the data input to the system
by various stakeholders; and coordinate the research agenda to improve
the system of accounts and linkages to other databases.
COLLABORATIVE PROTOCOL NECESSARY
Successful use of material flows accounts for sound public policy
making hinges on cooperation among government, business, and the
public. Regardless of the form of the organization, an important task is to
establish the databases through the efforts of various stakeholders based
on criteria and a protocol to ensure that those criteria are satisfied.
Elements of such a protocol include data quality, transparency, and
formatting to ensure access.
