		They are based on the material flow accounts the Wuppertal Institute created and the further analysis they were then able to conduct.
		As the estimates of these hidden flows are less reliable than for those materials directly used by the economy, TMR should not be used as a stand alone indicator, but instead be considered alongside other indicators.
		The research by the Wuppertal Institute indicated that the UK TMR rose by 12 percent between 1970 and 1999, although there was a slight fall during the 1990's (see Chart 1).
