10 Questions
Match the following environmental benefits with their description:
Win-win scenario = Achieving greater resource productivity with environmental and economic benefits Waste minimization = Using fewer resource inputs and generating less waste for a given level of production or service Energy efficiency = Important element in any greenhouse gas reduction strategy Reduction of waste at source = Systematic prevention of waste during the production process
Match the following types of processes with their examples:
Production process = Transforming raw materials or assembling components into products Activity process = Delivering a service such as transportation or storage and packaging of goods Transportation process = Moving people or goods from one place to another Storage and packaging process = Storing and packaging goods
Match the following elements of process efficiency with their descriptions:
Optimizing useful outputs = Maximizing desirable results and minimizing unwanted outputs Minimize unwanted outputs = Reducing the production of undesirable results Systematic reduction of waste at source = Methodical approach to preventing waste during the production process Less resource input required = Result of optimizing useful outputs and minimizing unwanted outputs
Match the following environmental considerations with their impact on process efficiency:
Avoidance of leaks of methane and refrigerants = Important element in any greenhouse gas reduction strategy Reduction of waste at source = Requires the prevention of waste during the production process Process efficiency = Incorporates waste minimization, energy efficiency, and material productivity Resource productivity = Aims to achieve greater resource productivity from organizational or business activities
Match the following benefits of process efficiency with their outcomes:
Economic benefits for the organization = Achieving greater resource productivity with environmental and economic benefits Environmental benefits = Using fewer resource inputs and generating less waste for a given level of production or service Less resource input required = Result of optimizing useful outputs and minimizing unwanted outputs Waste minimization = Systematic prevention of waste during the production process
What does process efficiency aim to achieve?

Waste minimization, energy efficiency, and material productivity
What is fundamental to the process of reducing waste at source?
Systematic waste reduction
What is an example of a 'process' beyond production processes?
A transportation process that moves people or goods
What should be an important element in any greenhouse gas reduction strategy?
Process efficiency
