116 MATEMALS COST this arena will be enhanced by ongoing research, which will run concurrently with the development of material flows accounts. The strategy for successful implementation of material flows accounts is important to ensure success in using them. By employing a partnership approach through an independent organization, the accounts and their uses would be enhanced, and through this enhancement, linkages with other databases on the economy, the environment, and social status could lead to the type of holistic public policy making necessary for a progressively more complex society.
