Definition
The indicator is calculated by Statistics Denmark based on the material flow accounts. Domestic material consumption is defined as the sum of total domestic resource extraction plus imports minus exports. The material flow accounts form part of Statistics Denmark's Green National Accounts, and the indicator is therefore in accordance with the principles of the international System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA 2012), published by the UN, the World Bank, the IMF, the OECD and Eurostat.
