Peru is ecologically diverse and it has an extensive territory with a large number of natural resources. This fact makes the country more attractive to the foreign market, which is evidenced by the intensification of the rate of extraction of Natural Resources over the years. However, an increase in the extraction of Natural Resources above physical limits puts at risk the possibility of extracting resources in the future. Given this problem, this research paper aims to estimate the total material flows by sectors in the international commercial exchange of the Peruvian economy in the period 1990 and 2019. This to determine the productive sectors that have produced the greatest environmental burdens by international trade base on the methodology of Material Flow Accounting (MFA) and Environmental Input-Output Analysis (IOA). The results suggest that the mining sector is the one that has produced the highest environmental burdens by trade in the period studied. This is due to it represents and has represented most of the percentage structure of the monetary units of the country's exports. Furthermore, several episodes in Peruvian history have highlighted how pernicious it can be for the environment by the degrading extractive processes that accompany it. In conclusion, the intensification in the extraction of natural resources for trade generates a decrease of natural resources that compromises environmental sustainability in the long term.
