The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides information to the public and policy-makers concerning current use flow of minerals materials in United States economy. USGS collects, analyzes, disseminates on most nonfuel mineral commodities.This digital database is an online compilation historical statistics material commodities. contains approximately 90 commodities, including production, imports, exports, stocks; reported apparent consumption; unit value (the real nominal price dollars a...
Supply disruptions of imported mineral commodities pose significant risk to U.S. manufacturers emerging technologies.
▪ Abstract The flows of nonfood and nonfuel materials through the economy have significant impact on our lives world around us. Growing populations economies demand more goods, services, infrastructure. Since beginning twentieth century, types consumed in United States significantly changed. In 1900, a per-weight basis, almost half were from renewable resources, such as wood, fibers, agricultural products, rest being derived nonrenewable resources. By 1995, consumption resources had declined...

The was prepared cooperation with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Organisation Economic Co-operation Development, Policy Committee's Working Group on Waste Prevention Recycling. addresses major resource flows effects those provides insights life cycle aluminum; it does not address policy issues aluminum.
This paper provides a preliminary review of the trends in worldwide metals and industrial minerals production consumption based on newly developed global Material Flow Accounts (MFA). The MFA encompass data extraction for 25 metal mineral commodities, country-by-country year-by-year basis, period 1970 to 2004. data-base, jointly by authors, resides with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as individual commodity Excel workbooks within Filemaker management system use analysis. Numerous national...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides information on the current use and flow of minerals mineral-based materials in world economies. This Data Series report "Historical Global Statistics for Mineral Material Commodities" contains production selected commodities from 1990 to most year. data may be used analysis socioeconomic developments trends study environmental issues associated with extraction processing commodities. global statistics includes is a companion 140 Commodities United States."
This report provides insight into the dependence of United States on foreign supply to meet country's mineral needs. When determining vulnerabilities U.S. supply, it is not enough look solely at mining source for each determine potential impact that a disruption might have Nation's economy. The tables accompany this help illustrate importance only and processing minerals but also exporting countries end uses. Understanding total risks costs disruptions along chain are beyond scope report....
