Viveka Palm

• The aim of this presentation is to present the
  SEEA, its main components and give examples of
  some new analyses
• Our notion of policy use 'putting the data in
  forms so that it answers frequent and relevant
  questions in the area'.

Three components of SEEA

• Flows of materials per industry (energy,
  material, emissions, waste)
• Economic variables (labour, taxes, subsidies,
  costs, products and services)
• Natural resources (stocks, quality, value)

Most important product groups

• Food

Extended producers responsibility

• If extended producers responsibility means take
  back, there must be a product to take back.
• A take back influences directly waste management
  and raw material acquisition phases and only
  indirectly the use phase.
• A take back has the greatest impact on products
  which have their largest impacts during raw
  material acquistion and waste management.

technologies, products and services which reduce
environmental risk and minimise pollution and
resource use.1

Analyses

• Economic instruments, green tax reforms
• Sustainability indicators, social issues
• Chemical products policy
• IO-analyses decoupling decomposition analysis
• Water accounts
• Households and IPP
• Modelling environment/economy
