Mandatory Metabolic Accounting & Utility Scoring for All Goods

The implementation of Mandatory Metabolic Accounting (MMA) represents a fundamental shift in global economic valuation, transitioning consumer goods and industrial processes from being measured by cost-of-production to being quantified by their total systemic metabolic burden. This system mandates that every product—from electronics and apparel to foodstuffs and construction materials—must carry a standardized 'Metabolic Score' or Utility Cost Index (UCI). This score is a comprehensive calculation detailing the cumulative depletion of environmental resources, energy inputs, social capital, and waste-handling costs incurred across the entire lifecycle of the item. The UCI effectively operationalizes ecological accounting into daily consumer decision-making, making the minimization of systemic utility debt the primary economic objective for market players and consumers alike.
