Layer 4: Stocks and flows

4.06. Flows: Consumption

What data is available on material and product consumption within the territory? This could entail any product or material, and is likely only available for certain sectors or types of products. Do note that utilities may be a first topic of interest, and data on water and energy consumption is generally more readily available than other consumption data. However, there could have been other studies or work done around particular products or materials, so have a good look to see what is available. Note that there is a specific category for household budget surveys, which may be an alternative source.
