Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA) begins to be popularized as an Environmental Management Accounting Tool among the enterprise business in Japan. MFCA has the effect of the Environmental Management Accounting to attain a decrease in environment load and profit improvement at the same time in the business. A new subject was researched with the concrete result of the enterprise which introduced MFCA in 2004 years.

MFCA in not only the enterprise which manufactures a parts from the raw material but also the assembling industry could be carried out, too. Moreover, not only a waste of the raw material was reduced with a viewpoint of the resources productivity but also MFCA to decrease environment loads such as CO2 was developed.
