responsible design

Question 1

sustainable materials and components

Answer 1

primary carbon footprint- direct emission of co2 from the burning of fossil fuels
secondary carbon footprint- indirect co2 from the products we use

Question 2

responsible design

Answer 2

minimal environmental impact
conserve materials and energy

Question 3

environmental issues

Answer 3

reduce- cut down material and energy
reuse- same or other purpose at end of life, consider reuse potential
recycle- convert waste products into new materials for new products, end of life disposal, advertise recycled waste
primary recycling- functioning second hand
secondary- recycled to make new products end of life
tertiary- breaking down a product
repair- fix rather than throw away
refuse- exercise consumer choice on whether to buy a product or not
rethink- how designed carry out same function

Question 4

environmental impact of packaging

Answer 4

prolongs life and allows components to get to customers
optimum amount of packaging
5p bags
bag for life 10p

Question 5

conservation of energy and resources

Answer 5

energy use day to day running of products
minimal use of materials
processing and manufacture
waste material
machinery used
product miles

Question 6

circular economy

Answer 6

linear- take make dispose
circular= keep using materials
biological and technical nutrients
biological nutrients- organic non toxins
technical nutrients- man made marerials
preserve and enhance natural capital
optimise resource yields
foster system effectiveness

greater resource productivity
avoid pollution by design intention

work against linear
promote productivity’s
reduce waste
avoid pollution by design
