abstract = {In the 20th century the world population grew 4 times, economic output 22 times and fossil fuel consumption 14 times. The total volume of material extracted or harvested worldwide reached nearly 60 billion metric tons per year in 2007, a 65% increase from 1980 and an estimated 8 fold increase over the last century.
The way economies use material resources determines to a significant extent what environmental pressures are being generated. In the near term sustainable development is threatened, not so much by the depletion of non-renewable resources such as minerals and fossil fuels, but rather by over-exploitation of renewable resources and the life-cycle impacts or externalities associated with material extraction, transport and utilization. These externalities include climate change, degradation of air, land and wildlife habitats, as well as depletion of natural resources including fresh water, biomass and topsoil.
Sustainable materials management can help to better manage those linkages. It supports sustainable decision-making by balancing the social, environmental and economic considerations throughout the life-cycle of a product or material, ensuring that negative impacts are not shifted from one life cycle stage to the next, and at the same time helping to improve resource security and competitiveness through better resource productivity. },
