摘要: Understanding the relationships between Australian economic system and waste generation from intermediate sectors households is a prerequisite for planning implementing management strategies at national scale. Data of accounts link to those accounts. However, in Australia, some years’ data are absent so these links cannot be made. To rectify this gap, paper interpolates extrapolates input-output table (IOT) 2010–2011. Waste (WIO) analysis then used assess effects economy on treatment 2009–2010 Analysis indicated that result interpolation was more reasonable than extrapolation, IOT 2010–2011 can applicable. This comparative time series WIO model has identified that: (1) per million $AUD output Construction sector generated most amount direct total during period; (2) development illustrate currently traditional linear economy; (3) effectiveness waste-related policies shown by growth sums Recovery sector; (4) increased sharply over two years. The physical flows footprint show details system. information provided beneficial formulate tailor-made Australia.
