Waste input-output model

<p>The Waste Input-Output (WIO) model is an innovative extension of the <a href="/facts/Environmentally_extended_input-output_analysis/GG46sRdN">environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) model</a>. It enhances the traditional Input-Output (IO) model by incorporating physical waste flows generated and treated alongside monetary flows of products and services. 
In a WIO model, each waste flow is traced from its generation to its treatment, facilitated by an allocation matrix. 
Additionally, the model accounts for the transformation of waste during treatment into secondary waste and residues, as well as recycling and final disposal processes. 
By including the end-of-life (EoL) stage of products, the WIO model enables a comprehensive consideration of the entire product life cycle, encompassing production, use, and disposal stages within the IO analysis framework. As such, it serves as a valuable tool for <a href="/facts/Life_cycle_assessment/vGKCvfYf">life cycle assessment</a> (LCA).
