Challenge 2 CORRECT ANSWER Explanation: Modular design supports sustainability by allowing users to replace or upgrade specific components of a device instead of discarding the entire device, thereby reducing e-waste. CORRECT ANSWER Explanation: Biodegradable materials help mitigate environmental impact by naturally decomposing, reducing longterm waste accumulation. 1. Which strategy is most effective for reducing the carbon footprint of electronic device packaging? a. Use non-recyclable materials b. Opt for smaller, recyclable packaging materials c. Increase packaging weight for durability d. Use bright colors to improve visual appeal Incorrect answers – (a) Increases waste and sustainability challenges. – (c) Increases resource consumption and emissions during transport. – (d) Does not impact sustainability measures directly. 2. What is a key benefit of using biodegradable materials in electronics packaging? a. Enhances device performance b. Reduces environmental impact by breaking down naturally c. Makes devices more durable d. Lowers production costs significantly Incorrect answers – (a) Does not affect device performance. – (c) Does not enhance device durability. – (d) Can be more costly than non-biodegradable alternatives. 3. How can modular design contribute to sustainable electronics? a. Decreases device weight significantly b. Allows easy replacement of components to extend device life c. Increases production complexity without benefits d. Reduces need for renewable resources Incorrect answers – (a) Weight reduction is not a direct benefit of modular design. – (c) While increasing complexity, the benefits in sustainability and reduced waste are significant. – (d) Still requires renewable resources, albeit potentially less frequently. CORRECT ANSWER Explanation: Using smaller, recyclable materials minimizes waste generation and resource use, directly impacting the carbon footprint positively. Assessment Exercise
