CORRECT ANSWER Explanation: The absence of recycling initiatives in electronics manufacturing leads to increased waste and environmental pollution, which are detrimental to sustainability efforts. CORRECT ANSWER Explanation: Reducing energy consumption in manufacturing significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions, directly contributing to sustainability goals. CORRECT ANSWER Explanation: Eco-labeling provides critical information that helps consumers identify and choose products that meet specific environmental standards, promoting more sustainable purchasing decisions. 10. What benefit does eco-labeling provide for consumers? a. Ensures the lowest price of the product b. Helps consumers identify environmentally friendly products c. Guarantees the longest product life d. Lowers manufacturing emissions Incorrect answers – (a) Does not guarantee the lowest price; eco-friendly products can sometimes be more expensive. – (c) Does not guarantee product longevity. – (d) Labels reflect environmental impact but do not directly influence the emissions of manufacturing processes. 11. How does reducing energy consumption in device manufacturing impact sustainability? a. Reduces greenhouse gas emissions b. Makes devices cheaper to repair c. Increases device lifespan d. Has no significant effect Incorrect answers – (b) Has no direct relation to the cost of repairs. – (c) Lifespan is influenced more by design and material use than by the energy used in manufacturing. – (d) Has a significant positive effect on environmental sustainability. 12. What is a drawback of not implementing recycling programs in electronics manufacturing? a. Increases manufacturing speed b. Leads to higher waste and pollution c. Lowers initial production costs d. Improves brand image Incorrect answers – (a) Does not influence the speed of manufacturing. – (c) May reduce initial costs but increases long-term environmental and financial costs due to waste management. – (d) Typically damages brand image as consumers increasingly value sustainability.
