- 1Through what stages should product impacts be assessed?

- 2What is are the Environmental inputs or outputs?Raw materials and energy resources

- 3What is Life-Cycle Inventory?Standards which companies have to meet to have a suitable performance of sustainability
- 4What is the standard for Life-Cycle Inventory?BSI and ISO 1400


- 5What is are the Economic inputs or outputs?Products, components or energy that are outputs from other processes

- 6What does a process tree do?Indicates materials and their impact

- 7How does a process tree work?Establishes the inputs and outputs of industrial processes
(energy used and energy wasted)
- 8What do the boxes represent?Inputs and outputs of that part of the life cycle


- 9What is Cleaner Design?Designing to reduce the products impact on the environment for its ENTIRE LIFE


- 10What are the key things for designers to consider when designing sustainable products? (hint: there are 6)1-Easy to take apart
2-Second use or function
3-As few materials and possible
4-Avoid finishes
5-Easy to separate components
6-Mark materials to sort

- 12What are the five factors making up product sustainability in 'The Total Beauty of Sustainable Products'?1-Cyclic
2-Solar
3-Safe
4-Efficient
5-Social
"Carla Sits Sensibly Every Summer"
- 13Describe 'Cyclic' (hint: there are 3 points)-Made from biodegradable or organic materials
-Continuously recycles
-Decreases waste and pollution
- 14Describe 'Solar' (hint: there are 3 points)-Only use renewable energy
-NOT just solar panels
-Anything using photo-voltaic cells
- 15Describe 'Safe' (hint: there are 2 points)-All releases are 'food' to other systems
-No unnecessary pollution
- 16Describe 'Efficient' (hint: there are 2 points)-90% less energy, materials and water than 1990
-e.g. extracting less raw materials
- 17Describe 'Social' (hint: there are 2 points)-Support basic human rights and natural justice (e.g. Fairtrade)
-Reducing exploitation of the workforce
- 18What must manufacturers find a balance between in product life cycles? (hint: 2 things)-Cost and Benefit
-Need and Environmental impact

- 19What stages must be considered in a Life Cycle Assessment?1-RAW MATERIALS
2-MANUFACTURE
3-DISTRIBUTION
4-USE
5-END OF LIFE
- 20How must RAW MATERIALS be considered in design?-Recycled/recyclable materials?
-Fewer materials?
-Reduced environmental impact?

- 21How must MANUFACTURE be considered in design?-Fewer components?
-Lighter materials?
-Materials easier to machine?
-Efficient lay planning?

-Simplifying processes

- 22How must DISTRIBUTION be considered in design?-Reduce packaging?
-Less polluting transport?
-Shorter journey's?
-Compact loads?
-Alternative fuels?

- 23How did Coca-Cola make its can more sustainable?-Light-weighting design
-Reduced end diameter, same body diameter
-Same volume of liquid
-Less waste
-Less lorries
-Efficient lay planning

- 24How must USE be considered in design?-More durable product?
-Reused or refilled?
-'Green' credentials for marketing?
-Promote efficient use?
