Abstract
In this section the developed models presented in Part II are applied to calculate the impacts of the scenarios as described in Section IV.2. In IV.3.1 the FLUX — Dynabox combination in its dynamic mode is applied to the flows and stocks of copper and zinc in the Netherlands. Section IV.3.2 is dedicated mainly to the issue of stock modelling, which appears to be quite complicated and also very important for dynamic modelling. In Section IV.3.3 MPC modelling is applied to a specific materials-product chain: zinc gutters. This serves as an illustration of issues of costs and implementation, which are ignored by FLUX. Finally, in Section IV.3.4, the D[SC]B model is applied to calculate the copper and zinc concentrations in agricultural soils resulting from the assumed changes.
