Decline of materials

چکیده
Despite the USA’s image as a throwaway society, materials consumption per real GNP is declining, and has been for several years. Materials conservation practices in industry and a shift towards a service economy are two important factors in the decline of material intensiveness. The authors document this resource trend for the paper industry and conclude that an important cause of material intensiveness decline for this industry is the concept of product maturity. Future policy options are also analysed.
