CORRECT ANSWER Explanation: The circular economy is based on creating a continuous loop of using and reusing materials to prevent waste and promote sustainability. CORRECT ANSWER Explanation: Dematerialization focuses on minimizing material use in products and processes without compromising functionality. CORRECT ANSWER Explanation: Circular supply chains emphasize localized production and optimized logistics, reducing transportation needs and associated costs. 16. What is one benefit of circular supply chains? a. Increased waste production b. Lower transportation costs c. Decreased product quality d. Limited product variety Incorrect answers – (a) Designed to reduce waste. – (c) Focus on maintaining or improving product quality. – (d) Can offer variety while being sustainable. 17. What does dematerialization refer to? a. Increasing material use b. Reducing material consumption while maintaining function c. Creating more complex products d. Focusing solely on recycling Incorrect answers – (a) Dematerialization aims to decrease material use. – (c) Simplicity with efficiency and functionality is preferred. – (d) Involves more than recycling; it focuses on designing products that use fewer materials initially. 18. Which concept is key to understanding the circular economy? a. Linear production b. Continuous loops of use and reuse c. Single-use products d. End-of-life disposal Incorrect answers – (a) Opposite of the circular model. – (c) Creates waste and opposes circular principles. – (d) Strategies aim to avoid end-of-life disposal by designing for reuse or recycling.
