This dataset contains estimated Domestic Material Consumption (DMC) for Australia, disaggregated by the four main material categories used in Economy Wide Material Flows Accounting i.e. biomass, fossil fuels metal ores, and non-metallic minerals. DMC measures the above classes of materials used directly in economic activity in a nation’s territory. It is calculated as the total of those materials extracted directly from the environment within a nation’s territory, plus the total tonnage of those materials imported, less the tonnage of those materials exported.
