| Abstract: | Managing environmental issues and setting priorities requires an environmental costing procedure. The present study developed a "Model for Environmental Costs" (MEC) using five cost categories. The testing of the model in a furniture manufacturing plant showed that 35.2% of the total environmental costs were in effect mitigating correction costs, while 20.5% were prevention costs. Total environmental costs were 2.13% of the added value. The total amount of waste material amounted to 28% of the total material input. The MEC can be used as an internal management tool for priority setting and resource allocation, or for comparative analysis of industrial categories. |
