Abstract

Material Flow Cost Accounting allows you to accurately monitor the physical and monetary value of waste, which increases the visibility of environmental costs and gives managers possibility to identify areas of cost savings. The article discusses the general aspects of Material Flow Cost Accounting and a comparative analysis of methods for the evaluation of the cost of irrecoverable waste in Material Flow Cost Accounting and traditional cost accounting. In order to increase the usefulness of the information generated within Material Flow Cost Accounting, it is proposed to use this method in the whole chain of product delivery to the final customer. Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA) is a powerful tool for environmental management that can be applied to any organization, regardless of industry. Material Flow Cost Accounting helps companies to increase the transparency of information on technological losses, thus to reduce the level of environmental pollution and increase the efficiency of business running.
