Revision of the material system analyses specifications
The use of MSA results has evolved since the methodology was originally developed. Practitioners identified several improvement opportunities during its application on numerous raw materials, and there is hence a need to adjust the methodology. This report summarises the methodological evolutions that are proposed to the MSA methodology, for its application to the 2019-2020 series of MSA studies. It explains how and why the methodology has changed and evolved to better reflect reality; it should serve as an update to the study on the methodology published in 2015 (Deloitte, 2015). The report is structured as follows: Section 1 – Introduction (which includes: a summary description of the previous MSA studies and the ongoing ones; a summary of the original 2015 methodology), Section 2 - limitations and solutions to the MSA methodology, Section 3 - discusses the application of MSA for policy outputs, Section 4 - draws the main conclusion
