	We provided a theoretical framework for the integration of industrial ecology considerations in ~~macro-economic~~ analysis, as well as a simple general equilibrium framework to understand the role of endogenous material flow accounting when computing an equilibrium. In particular, we introduce material balances in a CGE by tracking material flows in each sector, from extraction to waste management. We complement the standard SAM, used for CGE analysis, with PIOTs for each material tracked in the model. Both accounting matrices are linked through material intensity variables, the inverse of which can be interpreted as quality of the material flow. When we include carbon ~~into~~ the material tracking, we can address climate change jointly with other material flows. The approach fundamentally enables us to track physical flows in the economy, at disaggregated levels. It allows for policy analysis of material unit taxation both upstream and downstream.

	The model addresses a common criticism by environmental researchers, that macroeconomics lacks physical consistency. We show how CGEs can describe strict material balances and policies directed to material constraints on inflows/outflows, taxation of materials (in euros per kg) as well as its exhaustive monitoring in all economic sectors. The development of the model is a first step for a deeper understanding of the effect of the development of a CE at a macro level. Indeed, this analysis requires precise material accounting to measure CE opportunities and ~~its~~ underlying economic and climate impacts.
