Abstract
⺠We present an economic perspective of material efficiency, and discuss the role of public policy in providing incentives for an efficient use of materials. ⺠In doing so, the paper comments on the engineering approach to material efficiency presented by Allwood et al. (2011). ⺠We argue that policy makers should opt for regulatory measures that target the relevant market failures as closely as possible.
