Environment Questions

What is the purpose of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in product design?

• To ensure the product has a high carbon footprint

• To maximize the use of non-recyclable materials

• To minimize environmental impact and ensure sustainable use of resources

• To increase the energy consumption during the product's lifecycle

Which stage of the Life Cycle Assessment involves using energy to create usable stock forms from raw materials?

• Extraction

• Production/Manufacture

• Distribution

• Use

During which LCA stage is energy primarily used for packaging and transporting the product?

• Use

• End of Life

• Distribution

• Assembly

What is a key environmental concern during the 'Extraction' stage of a product's life cycle?

• Energy used in staff training

• Carbon released for raw materials extraction

• Packaging lightening

• Product repairability

How does the 'End of Life' stage contribute to sustainability according to the Life Cycle Assessment?

• By increasing the use of non-rechargeable consumables

• By designing products for easy separation and recycling

• By maximizing the product's carbon footprint

• By using inefficient machinery

What is the primary difference between renewable and non-renewable energy sources?

• Renewable energy sources can be used repeatedly without being depleted, while non-renewable sources are consumed and cannot be replenished.

• Non-renewable energy sources are cheaper than renewable sources.

• Renewable energy sources are mainly used for heating, while non-renewable sources are used for electricity.
